fuimos eternos Painting

In my work, the boundaries between figurative elements and abstraction dissolve in an attempt to grasp the duality within me. My main concern when creating lays on the method and process of painting itself. However sometimes I turn to symbols or images to make a point when there is a specific narrative behind the painting. For some time I’ve been trying to separate them until I realised that it would be like trying to separate some parts of me from the others. I work with no preconceived ideas or sketches, straight to the canvas, organising the surface with brushstrokes and gestures and using accidents and mistakes as a resource in an attempt to seize the freedom of action painting. In the other hand the need to address certain issues sometimes leads me to introduce figurative elements.
