My work is generally enrolled within expressionism in
dimensions framed within the social or intimate domains. In
the first place, I consider it an art with a commitment to either
intimate emotional states or collective problems, whether
urban, social inequity or ecological in nature. In terms of its
materialization, I use various techniques -the subject to be
treated and the emotional state it generates in me suggests
which one to use-. If I work on surface, I generally combine
contrasting tones; occasionally incorporating a third dimension

that projects from the canvass surface. I have initially used oil,
and later acrylic, in this case often combined with drawings in
ink or charcoal or other materials like plaster, always seeking to
highlight the expressive tone and give relief to segments of the
work, avoiding the abstract expression. In any case, virtuality
is not in the formal, in the represented image, but in what it
suggests, a sort of the metaphor of an idea. Regarding the use
of reliefs, this abandoning the plane has occasionally led me to
expressions of ceramic modeling or sculpture.
