The Vista Alegre exhibition hall is hosting a beautiful exhibition of artwork which reflects life from the beauty of the environment which surrounds us, often unnoticed, but always in our paths and our past.

In each work, I reflect on the environment and the degradation that human beings are irremissibly subjecting it to. We destroy each other, in an excessive desire for self-liquidation.
We do not realise that our time is short, it always turns, it flows and the present is so brief that we cannot grasp it, it escapes us.
“Nobody appreciates time, they use it carelessly, as if it were free”
When I create my works, I always think we should dedicate our efforts and intelligence to find our essence, but we are not cloaks of it, why do not even create the future, the end of tomorrow inexorably becomes today. We live the reflection of what we are and not of what we could be.
My work is of an ethnic, primitive contemporaneity, in which wood and stone coexist forming a whole.
I let intuition, experience, and inner silence flow in each work.
“Life will flow in silence … .. with everything will come death, which, whether you want or not, you have to deliver”
