Artist's Statement:
"Everything is landscape...
All my life I have lived in a painting studio, I have always had art books in my hands, without knowing how to read, I immersed myself in the terrible works of the darkest baroque, that is my tenebrist and expressionist universe and the guiding thread of my painting. My insurgent landscape: it is my Baroque garden, natural, exuberant, uneven, imperfect, difficult to hold, deformed and strange.
And in it the animals, worthy of its deep darkness and mysterious fury, which inspires me to a boldness that is urgent and fantastic in its forms and somber, brutal and even prophetic in its dialectic, because we are in an era of extremes with a great vitality and a constant presence of desolation and death.
It is a celebration of exuberance and an uncertain existence.
It is this instinct that connects me with the baroque and the contemporary."
