work statement
I am inspired by my personal demons, by the immensity of nature, by the dream, and by the mediocrity of the human condition. My art is full of contrasting colors and misaligned features that come to deconstruct an accelerated and automatic society where the need for expression and reflection imposes. Although I find my expression through my illustrations I am a visual artist that explores different media and materials like animation and sculpture.
