Statement
His work is a tribute to the autobiographical: Intimacy that becomes public, hair
like lines that connect as if they were cables, soaps that work like a code,
yellow, iconic and pop are characteristics of this imaginary. The images are
submerged in these nostalgic situations, where freedom happened in the
hidden, where the sound of the bathroom door latch was synonymous of show,
where all the objects became the public that watched the lypsinc of a pop song,
where time stopped for everything to shine.
