Over the past five years, I have developed a research work in sculpture and installation with industrial materials which denote, in the constitution and the way they are presented, my intention to hold encounters of different strengths and temperaments; of oppositions that support each other at their possible limits. In my visual speech that I seek to generate, I establish the dialogue through the laws of the world, metaphors that point to the “being’s” existence; where transformation and impermanence, from the subtlety of possible balance, translate into a place of experience and reflection.

En los últimos cinco años he desarrollado un trabajo de investigación en la escultura e instalación con materiales industriales que denotan, en su constitución y la forma que son presentados, mi intención de contener encuentros de diferentes fuerzas y temperamentos; de oposiciones que se apoyan unas a las otras dentro de sus límites posibles. En mi discurso visual busco generar, estableciendo el diálogo por medio de las leyes del mundo, metáforas que apuntan a la existencia del ser, donde la transformación e impermanencia, desde lo sutil del posible balance, se traducen a un lugar de experiencia y reflexión.
