SHORT FILM ABOUT LIFE & WORKS OF THE ARTIST
-
Art is the method I use and have to share stories. In the essence of the human being, we are all narrators of different stories, some completely our own and others in which we are temporary characters. Under this same premise I also think that the artist is a channel through which the stories that need to materialize find able hands to create them in this world. This is why my work does not include faces or features that could identify any person. In my work the human form is used as a placeholder so that the observer of the piece has the opportunity to place themselves in the story and make it their own.
Faced with so much digital interaction and less personal connection every day, it is with my work that I intend to counter weight this change. Society will always need to reconnect with those tasks that fulfill us, stuff we can create with our hands and that make us feel our human condition. It is necessary to see the strokes that other hands have made, that energy that only a personal interaction contains, at the same time find in a work of art evidence that another person is still here and that they tell stories in which you can identify and even find yourself.
This is why my works contain absolutely my entire process, stroke marks, sketches and those things that arise in the creation process with no editing on my part . A work of art is not a simple painting on the wall but rather a piece of time and a result of the artist's creation process.

During 2020 he also created “El diario de Colores” painting one artwork a day for the whole year trying to make sense and memory of everything happening.
