GRITO DE LOS LIENZOS

Mi figura se forja yen verdaderas maquinas radiográficas antropológicas y psíquicas de la existencia humana actual caracterizada por la soledad y la incomunicación más radical y enfermiza conocida por el hombre donde circunda este mundo imaginario de la naturaleza del ser humano son uno.
En el color la forma se expresan en un grito de desolación y destrucción las cuales se mutan a través de un mundo poético visual.

CRY OF THE CANVAS

interpretation/exposition

My figure is forged in an original anthropological and psychic radiographic tradition. I create pictures of the inside of the body influenced by machinal technology. This is a chronic condition on human experience. My themes include loneliness and illness relating to this kind of isolation caused by mechanical technology. I aspire to unite the natural and imaginary world as one. In color the form is expressed in a cry of desolation and transformation which are mutated through a visual poetic world.
