Artist's Statement

ARTIST'S STATEMENT I primarily consider myself a transmitter of feelings, sensibilities, through my vision of nature, people and feelings and things around me, through a wonderful means of expression as painting. Today, I feel that my paintings should have a basic structure, which support their development and that is drawing. I realize that despite my age, I am an evolving artist and I still need to try different techniques, styles, to probe the insides of my mind to seek new avenues of expression, but always from figuration. I wish above all that my time in this world is not indifferent to future generations, I want to make my humble impression, as people who leave their signature on a tree.
