About the Artist

The object of is art is the human figure, alone and disarmingly simple. Sometimes, its skin is torn and bruised,
so watching his art is never pleasing despite the warmness of its color. Denuded of the classical beauty and made
with flesh, closed spaces, sharp and disquieting shadows . The color dominates his paintings; paintings
that seem to scream the alienation of the human figure from its reality.
