Artist Statement In my artistic journey, I seek essence and uniqueness, drawing inspiration from the most unexpected details. Recently, I created a series of paintings using sugarcane pulp as tools: brushes, paint rollers, and stamps. These unconventional tools allowed me to explore unique textures and details, bringing my work to life in an exceptional way. I am driven by the exploration of contrasts and simple beauty, aiming to harmonize memories, feelings, and sensations. Each line, color, and shape is carefully selected to convey a timeless message, creating a dialogue between past, present, and future. My approach is an ode to the transformation of materials, finding beauty in the ordinary. Within abstract minimalism, I experiment with geometric elements, discarded objects, and vibrant colors. I invite everyone on a journey of contemplation, where each piece reveals the complexity behind simplicity, capturing the beauty of the universe around us.
