STATEMENT:
\"History belongs to the domain of mind evoking the past. Future belongs to the domain of mind dreaming about tomorrow. Regardless of our will, we are a space without time in this present instant. Ignoring this fact shall send us irrevokebly to the agony of the past, with all that related painful burden of events or shall send us to frustrating dreams about tomorrow. We are currently beings of destiny on the brink of reaching maturity, that is, our Age of Reason. At the same time, we areancesters, human beings who are wiling to create a wiser, more involving community that is healthier and more peaceful at family, local, and world levels.
We create such community from the field of visual Fine Arts since it has always demonstrated its agglutinating power in the construction of consensing identity.
MY WORK
\"Expressionism became the starting point of a long journey through arts as a means for capturing concrete realities. It incorporates iconic and analogical images, beauty, and sensibility into esthetics (image
hermeneutics). Finding style determines concept borders and allows the expression of logical (symbolic) and esthetic codes. While approaching abstract issues and keeping slightly distant from them, my work abandons sensibillia to integrate inteligibilllia.
The objective of my quest through images located in the foundational myth horizon is the construction of anthropological maps that are articulated at both their meaning and to-be-meant levels always in function of the most pristine interest for ontological expression, truth, kindness, and beauty¨.
