Biography: |
Painter mainly focused on the figure (human, animal and inanimate) and the landscape, especially the urban landscape.
Oil is for me the king of techniques in painting, but I also work with acrylic, pastel and, of course, charcoal drawings. In the landscape, my artistic concern, leads me to capture daily and fleeting moments of everyday life in the city, places and moments with which neighbors identify, away from the solemn perspective and the spectacular usually directed to the tourist. The portrait is my other obsession: looking for and capturing on the canvas the soul of the person portrayed is my objective in each of my works, and I look for it in his gaze, in a gesture, a posture. To get to capture the air as well as the light - and its shadows - through color is my end. |
