Artist Statement:
Since the beginning of my career the human figure has a very important role in my artwork. Sometimes I depict the body in a very realistic manner others only as a blurry suggestion of a human form, always with the same intrinsic intention of exploring its qualities as a vehicle of formal expression. I prefer to establish a visual dialogue that ideally creates a communion of feelings and emotions between the public and my artwork. My paintings are populated by expressive and dynamic human forms, fragmented, without gender, anonymous, confined and in pursue of freedom, sometimes echoing the violence afflicted upon the human being in our global society.
