| Interests | “My intention is to represent a realistic image combined with my personal imaginary interpretation of the content of that image. It might be a spiritual or psychological perception, I just let my imagination fly looking for a metaphoric connection to the subject, resulting in an image that sits between what I see, and how I feel about it. I seek to create a relationship among the objects to promote emotions that could be pleasant or dramatic, and sometimes even conflictive. I look for images that can cause an internal revolution in the viewer, pushing them to changes and breaking thought structures, opening a new way full of adventure. Even though I study harmony in visual arts, techniques and composition, I’m looking for something else, an emotion, a shock, something surprising but not incoherent, because coherence should be in the relation between the object represented and deeper subjective layers that are hidden behind a veil that needs to be removed.” |
