Statement

Investigates social, economic and political issues ideologies and cultural histories under the influence of the oil industry. It uses bitumen, liquid crude oil, plastics, rubber, resin and manipulates photographic and pictorial media, creating minimalist pieces that undo selective images through reducing techniques to darken objects or surfaces; thus, he creates abstract planes like black mirrors that create literal and figurative spaces for reflection.
