Mi trabajo es basicamente abstracto, pero no siempre. Me gusta mezclar, me gusta la fuerza del gesto. No es un ejercicio conceptual; pero creo que, se quiera o no, todo trabajo artístico tiene detrás una idea más o menos explicita.

 

Generalmente, tiendo a analizar e intelectualizar todo en mi vida diaria. El arte, hasta donde puedo, es mi espacio libre de intelectualizaciones. Lo que intento es que mi obra sea directa, que viaje sola a la mente o al corazón del público, sin necesidad de explicaciones, que sea un flujo de emoción. Me encantan las texturas, trabajar con diferentes materiales, marcar, borrar, pegar, rayar, escribir, construir capas, pegar... Jugar, sobre todo jugar; poner pintura sobre una superficie y ver que sucede, experimentar con diferentes técnicas, desde el grabado a la fotografia, al collage, lo digital, al dibujo... Me encanta trabajar sin tener que preocuparme por lo que mi arte quiere decir. A veces no quiere decir nada. Es pura alegría, pura expresión de un mundo interior que es el mío. La idea del juego es el concepto básico, si es que hay un concepto.

 

Después de años pasados usando negros y grises necesitaba volver al color y a algo que representara la energia de la vida, esa fuerza grandiosa que nos permite movernos y hacer y es tan presente, tan explosiva, en la naturaleza. Comencé con acuarelas porque es una técnica que permite crear obras muy delicadas. Luego realice algunos trabajos fotográficos y seguí con el collage, técnicas mixtas sobre madera o grandes lienzos. Intento abstraer las imágenes hasta quedarme basicamente solo con formas y colores y así crear un espacio de calma y serenidad.
