About The Artwork

What/who inspired the work? I have called "kubes in action" will be composed of 5 white cubes that according to my intention as an artist, it represents the lingam, a symbol that in Hindu philosophy alludes to god Shiva, deity without beginning or end, which suggests the infinite nature of Shiva. As per Vedic philosophy, odd numbers represent the spiritual and even numbers represent the physical. Number five is a sign of action and restlessness. It is the symbol of freedom, adaptability, expansive, and sociable. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? To interact with it Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? The metal is Aluminium painted in white. White because white represents pure, clean and good

My work is based on geometric abstraction and the cube plays a central part in my proposal. The cube represents a symbol of harmony, unity, and balance of our internal and external life. I build and deconstruct the cube to arouse curiosity in the viewers and make them want to look closer and achieve a connection with the work of art. It is deconstructed because we are in times of destruction in different worlds. Since I remember I have given importance to two things, internal seeking and art, I have developed my life around them. My desire is to show my inner quest experience. All my work is rooted on Mandalas, specifically on the flower of life. Mandalas like numerology exist in all religions. The basis of my proposals is spiritual. On this internal search, I have been fortunate enough to travel the world and thus experiment and learn from the richness of different culture, which has nourished my soul. New experiences, mine, and others what I manifest through my artwork. Maria Luisa, my beloved grandmother used to say, “God has more to give to us than we to ask him for”, and she was so right, it is true, God has given us Mother Nature. I am grateful and pleased to brighten the eyes and the spirit of people through my artwork. The process of creating my work arises from a feeling. The place where I take the picture is one that fulfills my spirit with that full feeling of connection with the universe. I enjoy that moment by raising my spirit to be able to capture the gift that I have before my eyes. I feel, appreciate and gratefully accept this present and that is when I take the photograph. When I take a photo, all my senses become one, and the moment becomes sublime, yes, I stop breathing for a few seconds, then I am ready to capture the moment which ends up being part of me, my reflection, my essence. The next step is to diagram each geometric figure and carefully choose the surface where it will be captured. I am captivated by wood because it has so much to give, by metal, glass, fabric or plastic, materials that will end up projecting that feeling that I offer each person. I always seek to innovate in new materials and surfaces to print my photos, each material, each surface reflects the many feelings and stages of my life. My camera is my partner, my friend, together we look for the moment, the place to express the experience, the feeling, my inner self. Now that you are in front of my artwork, I give you my feeling.
