artist statement
In the look of the painter there is a trajectory through his life and environment; my paintings reflect that relationship.
The landscapes show my land and places that I have visited; I paint without hard edges with a diffused modulation like existing in the memory.
The symbols that cohabit in my work, such as objects, words, icons like the "Ceibo" the national flower of Argentina; are like the lost identity of men, an identity that was lost in the search of other goals toward materialism.
My visions, "visions," that is what I call them, are the dreams that look towards the infinite, reference of oceans and lands that contain the best of the human nature.
