Artist Statement
On my paintings I try to capture spirit of time, like material evidence and the rough sketch of accelerated changes that are going on in modern society. Process is evolving as I move from one subject to another, always trying to keep strong bond between color and the drawing.
Paintings are created following the tradition of realism with recognizable elements of pop culture and modern society. Bright colors as opposite to the not so bright content. Human figures are symbolic, set in unexpected situations and landscapes leaving the opportunity to the eye of the observer to notice and understand their relations. All these elements are in the function of the narrative that happens on the canvas and needs to be told.
