"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher 1813 – 1887 Reverend, Abolitionist
Art is, without question, the most powerful existing means of communication. It is a catalyst that allows ideas and thoughts to flow and take form in diverse ways of expression. It is an urge that I can not control, and puts me in a special state of mind to which I always want to return. It is a dependency that I can not deny, because it is part of me. It allows me to express myself, to release the boiling amalgam of chaotic concepts and bits that fight to find their own identity - sometimes in the form of a script, in which an anti-hero looks for his destiny; sometimes in the form of an illustration in which his tormented antagonist gains relevance; on occasion, in the shape of an explosion of color that spreads and molds emotions over a canvas; whereas, in other moments it transpires into a series of drawings depicting a little clown, for whom higher hope and reward is a smile from the audience in payment for his performance.

My creations are the reflection of a delicate and precarious balance between traditional and modern, orthodoxy and new technologies. Mostly based on time-based techniques, it is the result of a whirl of different methods that converge in the attempt to represent rhythm and timing, trying to capture the embedded life of an elapsed fraction of time in a representtion that baulks at the confinement of the stationary nature of the canvas .
