1973 Holguín, Cuba
My work arises from the language of abstraction, with particular emphasis on geometry, as a graphic paraphrase of the contemporary urban environment. I consider that the ideology that makes up the contemporary social organization makes us coexist in geometric spaces of complex multifunctional subdivisions; these, in their structure, promise stability, proportion, comfort and social order. Experimenting in the confrontation of this principle constitutes one of my fundamental objectives.
I am interested in the representation and presentation of a scene obsessed and submerged in the already damaged geometric ideal, off-center social landscape, become fragmentation, forced embrace, saturation, illusion, alteration of meaning, ABSTRACTION.
