In my work I try to contribute, along with the language of the flat dimension of the painting, even without losing the characteristics that form the optical illusion of depth, the option of the presence of volume ;menes.

It is a rigorous work, in which strokes, mathematical or linguistic signs, lines, calligraphy and textures, geometric shapes and compositional rhythms are precisely articulated to shed light on these doubts. that its observation produces in the viewer.

They are works detached from external objectivity, in which an abstract lyricism of open configurations is sought. We reflect on a reference in the work, of that process that allows consciousness to take creation by the hand with signs that become graphic symbols. The canvas is then an unprecedented event, in which the alternation of materials with colors has a special role, especially the primaries red and yellow and white, black and grey. It is about achieving a composition with high chromatic vibration.

The pieces  They oppose the empty frame to the volume of white fabrics that hang from them or are rolled up, giving a nod to material art.

My work is completed by sculptures that, with the same meaning and orientation, serve to reinforce and leave in the viewer that doubt produced by observing how both the sculptural figures and the wall pieces are practically resolved using the same or similar elements and materials. And it is about combining painting and sculpture so that it is difficult to determine where the field of one begins and where they intrude, together, into the terrain of the other.

In this work, color and material are equated without imposing themselves, seeking relationship and balance in its artistic space. Let's say that this work is situated in juxtaposition, in the integration of painting and sculpture, in color and volume, in the superficial and the illusory, in the concrete and the incommensurable.
