AN ANIMAL CAN BECOME A TREE
A TREE CAN BECOME AN ANIMAL.
A MAN CAN TURN TO BE AN ANIMAL, A TREE OR VICEVERSE

The conversion and re-contextualization of the primitive natural elements, redefines the scale of mankind's spiritual evolution, always trying to remain mixed with its own existence and very close to the mediate surrounding.

In my work, I present a reflection about the invention of the myth as a result of the accumulation and historic recuperation, that comes to my conscience from different ways, through studies previously done or as resonances, in his significance's sense and expression by means of the art.

Taking as a reference our forefathers legacy, the rupestrian art has expressed itself the need of attraction, as a reflection of the primitive culture in general terms. As a result, all the iconography in my work emerge from a meticulous selection in order to create and recreate symbols and signs, where I propose a speculative metaphoric language, that widens the narrow and delicate spiritual thread, sometimes adding magnificence to it and sometimes distorting the different features that characterize my work.
