statement

In my artistic work I am interested in the paths that people travel, the moments they leave in those places, the traces that last and that are invisible, the moments that are not seen when they pass and that are there, the stories that are not told, the places that have been traveled by mistake. What goes through the mind when you are there unintentionally and when you are there for someone else and the wait becomes long. The stories contained in the objects of our usefulness. These are the pretexts that are part of the paintings, drawings, photographs and engravings that I work with. As a record of life, the everyday, containing the ephemeral in the plastic medium turning it into something tangible.
