The Project ‘portraits without apparent faces’ is meant to be a work in progress.
I never had the intention to paint physiognomic portraits. My idea was to change the concept of the traditional portrait in which the face and the expression are the protagonists and this is why it started this transformation towards a more ‘typological’ portrait in which the details, the clothes and the objects that relate with the person and his body are the features that permit us to understand the story and the social class of the portrayed subject

'Portraits without apparent faces'

I’m interested in exploring the everyday scenes, the habits that we do almost impulsively without really thinking about them. I want to transform this insignificant moment in reflection through my art to generate different meanings.
There is not one single person in the universe that has a cartography similar to another, the cartography is just like a fingerprint. We undertake several paths in our daily lives and we do it voluntarily or because we are obligated. I go out and I take pictures of legs and afterwards I paint those images on canvas using different techniques and styles in order to transmit the physical and mental heterogeneity.
