Artist Statement
My art is based on color and figure, making a mixture of strong colors that dance with each other with absolute ease, making a track of sophisticated steps within the canvas where I leave each movement marked with a paint stroke.
From the distance the mixture of so many colors unify and transform as if it were a single color but when you get closer you can see each of those colorful strokes that shine within itself. This is what made my style take shape over time and made my art expressive, vibrant while highlighting color and giving it meaning so they form an unique piece of art.
