I consider art a way of reflecting on the world. Both processes, the creation and production of a piece, are fused into one. The result is not tied, then, to a particular purpose or goal. The finished work ends up being a consequence, a practice. Abstract painting has, for me, a close relationship with poetry in its evocative power. It starts as an encounter with sensations rather than images. Color becomes a metaphor that symbolizes the eternal, the non-visible, the essence of matter.
My painting is deeply linked to architecture, which fulfills other spaces of my artistic practice, as well as engraving and textile art. The whole creative process goes through all those cultures and aims to make reflections about major themes: the ancestral, the earth, the human condition, the eroticism; all those questions that demand introspection and growth.
