Painting takes me to unspoken worlds. Through painting I depict not objective realities, but rather the complex states of mind that my encounter with the world and myself produce in me.
Geometric and Organic forms deliberately and accidentally coexist. Layers of paint and added materials shape and reshape allowing hidden intentions and meanings to appear and reappear.
My paintings may seem, at first appearance, to be abstract, but with further notice, one can perceive surreal allusions and nuances combined with conceptual references. These images suggest growth, change and mutation - exploring the human interface between the interior and exterior world. Dominated by spaces, lines and biomorphic rhythms, they represent our deepest subconscious memories of that state in which we all cross from the inorganic realm into the sphere of the living.
Having grown up in South America, I find myself sometimes working from the magical influences that abound in the South American cultures.
