Artist Statement

“Cuando el hombre no se encuentra a sí mismo, no encuentra nada”

search and I search for myself amongst the threads of forms and colors, telling my ideas and ideals in the painting. An invitation to a mute world: where you may converse with the self that inhabits within each one of us.

My art is autonomous but not autist, it is polluted through life, rendered sensible to the figures and symbols of the era and the signs of time: the raw matter that is transfigured by art as an offering beyond its inmediacy. Always searching to freely capture the sensibility that sorrounds me and, as its consequence, express my own truth.

“Only when making a choice one prefers sunny and colorful effects, and there’s nothing that prevents me from thinking that in the future many painters will go and work in tropical countries.”
Vincent Van Gogh,

I am a Caribbean artist and in my country, Puerto Rico, I have had the experience to appreciate the light and colors with the energy and vibration that maybe Van Gogh wished he had...To know color and be able to project it with the passion of signs from my experiences, is the biggest of challenges. A search to domesticate the gamas with the naturality and elegance of abstraction and figuration of events and feelings would be the mystical lyric that defines my art.
