About Realism and abstraction

I paint what surrounds me, what catches my attention, what, under a superficial view, becomes significant to my gaze and transcends that boundary to touch something profound within me. Sometimes, I don't know what this perception is based on, but by painting that objective reality, analyzing it, and understanding it, I end up recognizing where its attraction lies, which in many cases is hidden from view.

Painting realism has meant closely connecting me to life because objective reality provides us with the elements of unity and awareness in the present. However, over time, I have needed to focus and paint from reality those aspects that are directly linked to my aesthetic criteria, my perception of beauty, and are intimately connected to emotion.

As an artist, I am always in search of new forms of expression and creative challenges to broaden my horizons and enrich myself. Plastic diversity in artistic expression is essential for continuous growth and evolution in my work.

Currently, I represent reality by distilling it, seeking the simplicity and interiority of the most basic elements: lines, shapes, and colors, which help me reveal what is intuited and glimpsed. It is on this path that I primarily use abstraction to express this essential reality.

The relationship between realism and abstraction is not exclusive; it is absolutely complementary, and I dare say, necessary. It is in my need for expression that I make this duality interact in a return to the origin, to the essence of why I paint.
