I would define my painting as expressionist, with symbolic appreciations of traditional figurative painting and with a clear tendency towards abstraction. It has a colorful, vibrant, fast and loose beak. I believe that painting should give off energy, it should have life, it should transmit and provoke emotions and that is what I look for when I relate to it.

Before psychology existed, "Goethe" He affirmed that colors act on the soul; This can cause sadness or joy. "Physically and emotionally, human beings are affected and influenced by the colors that surround them, articulating their conventional references.

Each color produces an emotion and under this principle I let myself be carried away in each work; In this sense, I adhere to Pablo Picasso's phrase: "I don't paint what I see, I paint what I feel".

After studying art history, I felt a sense of belonging. the need to try to express my emotions through painting; Three long decades have passed, even though it began to be exhibited in 2016.
