imaginary myths of his native land.
His words are; "In these reflections I arrive at the utilization of the mask as an starting point.My work aims at the description of a human Being based on the imperfection of his existence. A mixture among Being Present and Being Passenger and one that another illusion. The essence of my painting is the search of an iconography of America and its visual symbols, whether the landscape or its people, through compositions in which the center is the figure of the woman delivering the idea of Fertility and Nature".
