sun rise Painting

Every day we deal with the complexity of deciding what is right, what is wrong, what is acceptable, average or extreme. Time has shown that what today is intolerable tomorrow could be embrace as indispensable or mandatory. Even though my work deals with this kind of contradiction and, the challenges and dilemmas we face in every decision we take, it is still limited by the bi-dimensionality of painting. On this basis, my real motivation, my aim, is to create work that is not just about something, but that exist entirely on its own. My paintings are the result of a long process of trials where gestures, mark making and symbols collide and give shape to “something” that seeks its own identity. Even when the approach and choices I make are subjected to my own experiences, my time, place in the world, and so on; Painting is a physical thing, is material. For that reason, I am determined to exploit the visual aspect of painting. After all, what I am doing is manipulating and transforming matter.”
