My horizon is the ocean.
Immersed in heat, I am surrounded by light and color, noise and sounds,
inhabited with all sort of ethnic groups making this, a country of enormous
contrast.
Daily life a chain of happenings and moments linked by me. The
search of my work is not to be a storyteller but to express through art
the awareness of it all. This is my contemporaneity. Painting is my tool.
Gerhard Richter"I realized that what I do - the desperate experimentation, all the difficulties - is exactly what they all do: that´s the normal nature of the job. That´s painting."

La búsqueda en mi trabajo no es contar una historia de lo que vivo sino expresar mi percepción de ella a través del arte.
Esta es mi contemporaneidad.
La pintura, es mi herramienta.
"Estaré tranquilo en una casa pequeña de los alrededores de algo, gozando de un sosiego en el que no haré la obra que no hago ahora, y buscaré, para continuar el no haberla hecho, disculpas diferentes de aquella en que hoy me esquivo a mí mismo."
