Nature offers us many phases of contemplation: the most obvious one that perceives our visual sense; but when we put into play all the human potentiality, it results in a combination of resources that incites us to enter an unknown world where we rejoice in its wonders. The Supreme Being has granted the artist the gift of light and this with its multifaceted capacity of perception indicates the paths through which we had never imagined traveling. My landscape is a consequence of this accumulation of experiences. There is a point that marks the limit of objectivity to give way to subjectivity. My plastic work develops in this subjective dimension. It is a dimension where the visual sense is left behind to give way to imagination, feeling and spirit and where skill, skill and technical knowledge play their important role. Imagine a large crystal placed just at the point that separates objectivity from subjectivity. Through this imaginary crystal we will observe towards subjectivity. Our crystal will have the property of eliminating the details and distorting the shape as long as the objective is more or less distant from our eyes and, what is more important, our crystal has the property of decomposing white light, converting it into bursts or spots of iridescent colors. The perception can be concrete or abstract depending on the distance between the objective and the eyes.

THE MAN

 

Referring to the second topic, I will say that not only the landscape has interested me as nature but also man as a complement to it. In all the history of the Plastic Arts human nature has been the artist's concern and I could not be left out of such a natural feeling. What interests me about man? I am interested in your thinking, your philosophy, your actions through history, your actions towards society, your worries, your aspirations, your ideals in the pursuit of happiness, your stumbles, your mistakes, your ambitions, your arrogance and his vanity, in short everything that is characteristic of the actions of man. And in what way do I approach these subjects in my painting? I must say that I keep the same line and the same principles that I mentioned earlier; I will only say that it is a work full of symbology because to say a lot, spaces are never enough, but there is still the resource of the symbol that allows us to synthesize the expression. My themes are a reflection of what is happening in the world today and it is not that I am a prophet but that history always repeats itself; they are yesterday's topics of today and forever. Human pride began with the first man on earth, nobody wants to share the world, man claims for himself and wins power, but it turns out that man multiplies and all claim the same rights, who is right? This is the Human Comedy.
