My paintings form a view in where I work as a transistor of ideas, which means that I receive an influential input, such as a particular scene in a movie, or a subjective experience, and I transform these ideas into a visual image. That has to affect the viewers, shocking them as much as possible.
“The painter makes real to others his innermost feelings about all that he cares for.”

This artwork was inspired by a particular scene in the movie “REQUIEM FOR A DREAM” in where the emotions are captured by the gaze of the woman in the painting.

When I draw, I approach it similarly to painting, but with a different perspective that focuses on specific drawing techniques. That leads me to give importance to the lines themselves as the main important aspect in a drawing. Thus, I generate the impact through the relationship between the technique and the level of details that I produce in the drawings.
“I do not know if you bridle your pen, but when my pencil moves, it is necessary to let it go, or - crash!... nothing more.”
Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec
