 The artificial is replacing the natural, this is becoming the norm, my work seeks a return to the spiritual and to seek some sort of origen. I am interested in the formal strategies of repetition used in minimalism and in the monumental ways of construction of ancient civilizations. This fusion results in the simplicity and respect of the materials and its manipulation. I'm interested in the process of creating and understanding how the materials transform into ideas. I like the physical part of creation: the present, to be doing. It's my way of looking for some kind of order and return to the essential. That connection between what was and what will be, that game with time and space, that cosmic communication is what I try to preserve and prolong.
