Statement
My work originates from the investigation and experimentation of different materials. In this series, that I call “Alternated Nature”, the paintings emerge from the emotion and observation of the universe that surrounds me. During this year of 2020 I confined myself to my studio in the countryside and let the flowers, landscapes and colors flood my soul, allowing me to seek the nature that inhabits me.
