ARTIST STATEMENT 

Most of my work has been based on figurative paintings, on a self-taught search for color, figurative form, the closest representation of what is observed. The personal relationship with the materials, without detracting from the knowledge that can be acquired in a school, tutorials, books and the experience of great masters of history, was important to create a more virgin and direct link, using the least amount of filters and influences. , with the aim of finding a more intimate vision; find, rather than study; feel, rather than do what has been learned; trying to awaken the surprise of the sleeping infant, how I arrive with my intuition without knowing how others arrived, embracing the error, the frustration and learning from them.

Within this learning process, little by little I was getting closer to the history of art, small tidbits of information that were growing, marveling at my mind and spirit as an artist, novice and anesthetized for so many years, I woke up and recognized its existence, giving it the place it deserved.This sleepy artist began to appreciate, to feel more attracted, the diffuse look became clearer and more curious, and new friends emerged from the shadows, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, Manet, Velasquez, Caravaggio, Hopper, Rivera, Matisse, Magritte , Van Gogh, Gauguin, marveling and moving me, giving birth to an admiration and pleasure for his work that grows and grows, but from this select group there were two that for some reason stood out and managed to delight me a little more, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, curiously, teacher and disciple, the sublime and pure beauty of Klimt and the provocative anguish and erotic tension of Schiele, for me, the perfect combination that describes my vision of this bizarre world.
