There is not a single work, nor is there an image or an aspect that defines us at all, but perhaps my most significant work revolves around what is not real because it participates in an evident verisimilitude. I create images that are located at an intermediate point between the registration of an object or a place and an inner poetic resonance, an intimate invisible projection through the visible world.
Could you explain to us what your creative process is like?
I start by having an idea, which is a mental image, and then I look for the real object that is closest to this idea/image. The real object is manipulated so that it responds to that will. Then the work of materializing with painting begins, a process that is an adventure in itself and that often changes little or much from what was initially projected.
As a teenager, I felt the need to assert myself. The representation of what is behind the visible world seduced me then and still seduces me now.
How has your work evolved over the years?
Essentially it hasn't changed much since I reached a certain artistic age, some twenty years ago, but I have been adding themes and genres and experimenting with different pictorial procedures and techniques.
Could you mention the artistic projects and exhibitions of your career that you consider most important?
