"Painting is an opaque mirror in which reality is reflected by the hand and the gaze of the artist. Conceived in this way, the painting becomes ductile, malleable, flexible and against reality, much more in this contemporary reality where the images live in complete harmony, while their content demystify solemnity. What I try to do is to reflect the promiscuity of pictures while my reality coexists in Western, post-modern, neo-baroque, iconographic and iconoclastic art. Therefore, if refractory status allows the luxury of mixing catholic virgins with topless nordic tourists, burnt forest with snow-capped mountains, stuffed animals with hunting dogs, costume festivities with sculptures of saints, or exotic animals loaded with ugliness and rarity with the strange beauty of insects, birds and shellfish ... all images live in a world of dreams, nightmares and shocking flashes".
