What is the best thing that I love about my work? I feel that my work is more than a job.
It is a choice of life. Art is a visceral mandate. It is to remain in a state of search, finding within the imaginary itself, fragments that seemed definitely lost and that return to the surface thanks to diving in a color, in a form that refers us to the origin.
Yo siento que mi trabajo es más que un trabajo.
Es una opción de vida.
El arte es un mandato visceral.
Es permanecer en estado de búsqueda , encontrando dentro del propio imaginario, fragmentos que parecían definitivamente perdidos y que vuelven a la superficie gracias a bucear en un color,en una forma que nos remite al origen.

What Is the influence of role models, in my work and in my life? I escape from the models, perhaps because it costs me to follow them.

Escapo a los modelos, quizás porque me cueste seguirlos.
