Statement
The artist reflects, from semiotic postulates, on issues related to the aesthetics of reception and the artistic experience in today's society, such as the way we relate to the work of art. His most recent work, which stands out for the creation of graphite drawings and oil paintings, reflects the fusion of time, of an intangible past, which can be captured in the present only through intuition.
