Artist Statement

" A reason appears, for example, the drought we are suffering, and immediately afterwards I see images that I need to shape. I make sketches with markers, pencils, whatever I can find, and catch, I do it and look for photos until I come up with the idea.. Sometimes I am impulsive and I paint without preamble. Then I use drawing, loads of paint, drips, action painting, on canvas and boards, almost always with black, red, white and earth acrylics.I like the expressive and visceral, figurative with dabbling in the abstract to express my opinion of the world I see. I want my portraits, human figures, animals, trees and landscapes to be a cry, mute, not mere decoration...My preferences are many, there are so many beautiful sources and I draw on as many as I can! Sometimes I look for inspiration and other times it comes without warning. I love the reward of hunting it, creating and communicating! "
