My inspiration is life itself, which is my recurring process of learning and evolution. As such, through the exploration of several techniques and materials, and the use of textures and colors, I try to transmit the different emotions, thoughts and states of the deepest processes of each being in their own way. Each of my works involves a clear intention, energy to be delivered and a message or concept to communicate. I have explored different materials, techniques and supports on my path as an artist, letting them act and flow freely. My experimentation work has given way to different processes and series of very different pieces of art. During 2011 and 2012 I worked on the experimentation of transparencies in order to capture the concept related to our society’s need to give transparency and clarify our processes, to show ourselves vividly as we are, drop the masks, the complexities of being, while moving towards naturalness and simplicity of what it means to be oneself. To achieve this concept I investigated different supports that allow transparency, showing the process and technique honestly, what exists in front and behind, as well as the different layers. After using acrylics, screen printing meshes, glass and other elements, I became interested in polyethylene (plastic bag), because it is an element that nobody looks at or values, and also because it is a simple wrapping thing which does not pretend to be anything else. For this purpose I experimented and developed different treatments for paints and stains to adhere to, filling my current technique. Today most of my work is created with a mixed technique based on transferences, enamels and industrial inks over flexible and transparent Vinyl Polychloride support.
