Neither a style nor a specific topic defines my ongoing painting practice. Each artwork is like a song on a full-length album. All my paintings are related, building a narrative as a whole rather than independently. Not cataloging my paintings by series, bodies of work, themes, materials, dimensions, etc., helps me show the full spectrum of what painting means to me. In addition, it truly presents who I am as an artist and as a person, and establishes a connection between the artwork, the audience, and the artist.

Ni un estilo ni un tema específico definen mi práctica pictórica actual. Cada obra de arte es como una canción en un disco de larga duración. Todas mis pinturas están relacionadas, construyendo una narrativa en su conjunto, más que de manera independiente. No catalogar mis pinturas por series, cuerpos de obra, temas, materiales, dimensiones, etc., me ayuda a mostrar el espectro completo de lo que la pintura significa para mí. Además, presenta verdaderamente quién soy como artista y como persona y establece una conexión entre la obra, el público y el artista.
