Statement:
I describe my art as “Emotional Spiritualism” In my art I express humanity’s internal search for themselves, the meaning of life, the connection that exists between us through the energy we transmit, also I apply a theory around human emotions, I’m a very strong believer that there is nothing most important in this world of ours, but that of the quality of life that emotions bring to us, therefore my work seeks to represent and manifest my personal beliefs and theories of the human psyche using my own style consists of geometrical shapes, humans figures, open and loosely strong traces, dripping, masked faces, fictitious characters and vibrant oil colors to enrich, enforce and project those ideas.
