About the Artist

Recently I make paintings, sometimes very large in which I "blow up" parts of a face, like an eye, too isolate the emotions of pain and sorrow. In this way I try to make that feelings universal. I hope that my paintings reach the feelings everyone knows. Trying to make people aware of the reality.
