About the Artist

Colour pencils are my favourite. Looks and magic realism attract me. I enjoy the possibility of meditation this material offers as I work. I share Lin Yutang’s opinion that: “Art is simultaneously creation and re-creation”. Of these two, the one I prefer is the idea of art as re-creation or as pure game of the human spirit. Although I appreciate all forms of immortal creative work, be it in painting, in architecture or in literature, I think the true art spirit will spread and penetrate deeper into society only when a lot of people can enjoy art as pastime… with no desire to reach immortality..

Dibujo principalmente con lápices de colores, me atrapan las miradas y el realismo mágico. Disfruto la posibilidad que me brinda este material de meditar mientras realizo mi tarea. Opino como el maestro Lin Yutang que: "...el arte es a la vez, creación y recreo.De las dos ideas,creo que la mas importante es la del arte como recreo, o como puro juego del espiritu humano. Por mucho que aprecie, como aprecio,todas las formas de la labor creadora inmortal, sea en pintura, arquitectura o literatura, creo que el espíritu del verdadero arte puede hacerse más general y penetrar más en la sociedad sólo cuando mucha gente goce del arte como pasatiempo...sin esperanzas de lograr la inmortalidad..."
