- Statement

In 2012 I had my first daughter and in 2014 two others. This has resulted in two relevant aspects that interfere in my pictorial process. On the one hand, the lack of regularity brings a certain degree of disconnection and inconsistency. Moreover, the work time is reduced to a few hours a week. Such apparent paralysis provides an area of freedom to an emotional, practical and intellectual code, more immediate and impulsive.
