Artist Statement

Painting for me is a language, is the way I have to express my most deep and inner feelings, I don't know how to do it any other way. Colours feed my soul day after day and it is there where I can find the peace and joy I need. It is also true that many are times I just find stress and anxiety because I can't achieve what I'm trying to, but I'm aware that perfect happiness doesn't exist and imperfection is part of the essence of being human.

I think painting is the most difficult thing that exists; rarely do I remain satisfied with the results. because my art is not made for my eyes since I will always find something to modify. If I wouldn't sell my paintings I could continue painting them for years, and those paintings, which had remained with me longer, have ended up as totally new paintings. What's really curious is that should I see them by chance some time after selling them I find them extremely fascinating, very expressive and I feel that finally I have reached what I was looking for.

Why do I paint? Is something that I have always wondered, I could say so much about it. I can do a lot of other things but it is painting where I feel most comfortable. My paintings are full of symbols and messages. Colours are what define my work and the principal way I have to express my emotions and feelings. I can't find answers for so many questions and I don't understand life as it is, that is why I paint about it, about love, fantasy, remembrances, suffering and happiness.

When I'm painting I'm very intuitive. Personally I think there is a strong spiritual meaning in my colours, besides the fact that is my profession, painting for me is like life itself
