Exploring color in the darkness, inspired by the Italian and Dutch renaissance. He brings hints of the fauna of his native South American vibrant and passionate colors. Bringing them into this obscure space he hopes to ignite the imagination of the world that surrounds his subjects in the pictures. Like a dream within the landscapes of classical renaissance paintings. The artist uses a vivid contrast of color to add an extra dimension in the movement and shadows of each piece. Almost giving a glimpse, outside of the nostalgia, of his -black & whites- and sepias. Evoking a sense of freedom and liberation. 

This striking artwork features a vivid green parrot poised on an outstretched hand, dramatically set against a stark black background. The lifelike representation of the parrot captures its brilliant plumage in exquisite detail, from the iridescent green feathers to the subtle blue tinge visible on its wings. The soft lighting accentuates the bird’s delicate features, creating a sharp contrast with the enveloping darkness. The hand beneath, lifelike and gently curved, suggests a moment of trust and intimacy between human and nature. The minimalist composition, focusing solely on the bird and hand, evokes a sense of serenity and pauses in time. This artwork’s unique combination of realism and simplicity draws attention to the beauty and fragility of life, encapsulating a fleeting, poignant interaction.
