STATEMENT
"In my artistic trajectory, I
have moved from the realistic figurative representation of the
photographic view to abstraction. In the patterns observed by nature, I
recognized the infinite creator diversity of nature. This journey from
the materialist who photographed representational things and was in
search of external beauty of form, I have come to the view that the
matter from which something is formed, the way in which it shows itself
to us and makes it perceptible, is part of something greater, of which
we are a part and in which we participate by choosing each moment to
see what we see and co-create this reality"
