Artist statement
Whatever I make is the form I would like to paint on.
What do I want to do?
I want to create objects that have a formula of their own and speak
their own language; to create a dialogue that did not exist before.
Fantastic process of materializing the idea through final work had
always fascinated me.
This as well as the desire for communication at different levels
pushed me to be curious and to go on, provoking reactions.
What is the cloud for me?
CLOUD is symbol of impermanence, movement and changeability
which are basic phenomena of life and our existence.
CLOUD as easy changing form is a handy template that provokes
imagination.
CLOUD is floating dream.
Cualquier cosa que hago tiene la forma que quiero.
¿Qué quiero hacer?
Quiero crear objetos que tengan su propia fórmula y que hablen su
propio idioma; quiero crear un diálogo que nunca antes ha existido.
Siempre me ha fascinado el fantástico proceso de materializar la
idea a través del resultado final.
Todo esto, junto con el deseo de comunicar a distintos niveles, ha
sido lo que me ha llevado a ser curioso y a ir más allá, provocando
reacciones.
¿Qué es la nube para mí?
LA NUBE simboliza la transitoriedad, el movimiento y la variabilidad,
que son los fenómenos básicos la vida y de nuestra existencia.
LA NUBE es como una forma cambiante sencilla, es una forma prác-
tica que abre nuestra imaginación.
LA NUBE es un sueño flotante.
