Translated from Spanish

I consider myself sensitive to human relations, to the context of society and the future, to the multiple possibilities of existence, to imagination, to music… all that surrounds me is present in my work, and in the moment of creation.

I do not seek preconceived images. I find them in my work process, enjoying from the sharpest and flashy trace to the most delicate and imperceptible detail, creating an intimate atmosphere between the viewer and the work.

I define the image of my drawings with these words:

Partes fragmentadas de un todo

Que define un futuro incierto

La desaparición del ser humano

Convirtiéndose en más automático, más nada, más ilusión.

Me considero sensible a las relaciones humanas, al contexto de la sociedad y del futuro; a las múltiples posibilidades de la existencia, a la imaginación, a la música… todo lo que me circunda incide en mi obra, en el momento creativo.

No busco imágenes preconcebidas. Las encuentro en mi proceso de trabajo, gozando desde el trazo más punzante y llamativo hasta el delicado detalle, imperceptible, creando una atmósfera intimista entre el observador y la obra.

Defino la imagen de mis dibujos con estas pocas palabras:

Fragmented parts of a whole

Which defines an uncertain future

Disappearance of the human being

Becoming more automatic, more nothing, more illusion.
