Since 2014, I have maintained two lines of research: the construction of identity based on the image and the relationship between the natural and the artificial.

 These issues lead me to enter sociological research, I look for evidence that later work and that can end in (hyper) realistic paintings, food or sculptural objects turned image, in some cases the work tries to comment on the subject and others simply evidence in a crude way.

My formal proposals make use of hyperreality, take the viewer to another reality, because it is a powerful resource to induce the viewer to reflect on certain issues through these leaps of consciousness, as well as the hybridizations and juxtapositions seen as a metaphor of our contemporaneity
 I am not afraid of involving elements that give a different reading to what is expected to be seen, like the mouth of a man eating a beer can and bleeding.
My versions of reality are fiction to others.
