Obsessed with painting large planes of colour by hand so that, leaving the world aside, I can meditate on my things, breathing very slowly to control each brushstroke well... and in the same way leaving no room for error in each thought... Observing each situation from as many points of view as I can imagine. Positioning myself in them.

Where some forms are replaced by others, some motifs by others, and sometimes nothing happens… Yes, the work process involves letting yourself be carried away by a feeling of infinite vertigo, and it is something very personal where sometimes getting so deep makes you afraid of losing the link with reality, because it is an infinite universe…
For that reason, trying not to lose myself by trapping each fragment of chaos in my head, I focus on the use of neutral elements, normally geometric like the cube, the sphere, the cylinder, essential forms that confer clarity, precision and objectivity, because I am interested in the potential of these basic structures of thought, to activate the leitmotiv of desire, which is in itself the freedom of form… a principle that has its punctum of encounter with the emotional capacity of color… (That is, with the capacity of color to act on our emotions)
Although I plan each piece digitally beforehand, a process in which I analyze various ways of approaching the same object by resizing it to the plane, I don’t know what surprises me the most: the process itself of painting it and the infinite labyrinth that my mind goes through before the blank canvas and its mysterious number of possibilities, or the rigor with which I conduct myself, searching for the exact color and respecting the predetermined shapes with great discipline, the more the better…, so as not to “fall into the void”…
