Statement
His work is the result of a personal and artistic career in which material, technique, research and discovery are a fundamental part of his process.
He highlights the visual interplay between elements of pre-Columbian cultures and motifs that allude to Arab ornament - alluding to its origins - as well as references to iconic works from the history of Western art.
He uses different supports and materials such as aluminum, Vitra and paper, with which he gives free rein to his eclecticism and the influences that have accompanied him throughout his life, apart from nationalisms and conceptualisms, unnecessary for him.
