STATEMENT

“Art for art’s sake” was from the beginning my motivation to paint, the engine that led me to the present moment. After avoiding realism, photography, image manipulation programs, and the messages of denunciation, political temptation, the disenchantment of the romantics,… I have focused in mapping a new world, capturing the landscape of emotions, mental spaces, panoramic views of joy, the celebration of life itself… Painting in essence…hidden feelings
