STATEMENT

I conceive my paintings as something similar to life: there is a general idea about
what we are going to do, but then there are also unexpected factors that can add a particular twist
— like each time a color interacts with water, it creates a different effect.

I foresee a painting before I start it, but I allow variations to the original plan.
These variations give a surreal spin to my work that goes along with my way of looking at things
not as they are but as they could be.

I like to use watercolors as a medium where every brushstroke on the paper becomes
part of the final work. I begin obsessed with certain scenes that I see in my mind.
I try to sketch and paint the landscape several times, developing at every step a more personal shape.

I like to paint landscapes that are deserted by people and have skies of fantastic colors,
as if they came out of a dream. These objects become part of a blurred world that belongs
to my personal vocabulary. They become impossible to recognize in their original form,
but, at the same time, they are vaguely familiar.

I always had a passion for painting, but, for one reason or another, I was trained as an architect,
and I sketched and painted as hobbies.
In 2003, I had a brain tumor, and at that point I re-evaluated what I was doing.
I understood that painting was a central part of my life, and now I like to devote more time to it.
