Series  01

De Terra

A series inspired by geological phenomena — the composition and structure offered by the natural and biological processes of our planet. A dynamic cycle visualised through abstract and geometric forms, where a vast chromatic range of shapes and textures intertwine, immersing the viewer entirely in the work.

About

Plastic
artist

I am a plastic artist who creates abstract paintings. My visual proposal presents reflections on the environments, both the natural and the urban — an artistic search that aims to interpret a vast world that surrounds man. An aesthetic atmosphere where the pictorial dimension embraces the spectator and allows them to enjoy an experience of forms intertwined among colours and lines.

I normally use very large formats as this allows me to give dimension to the sensations I want to generate: stroked colour jungles and faintly revealed structures. Nature, as well as the city, are represented on large canvas to suggest the idea of vastness, enormity and power — in order to lose oneself within the poetic horizons of the image.

It is more a poetic than a direct work, more metaphoric than illustrative; it is mostly the inexorable feeling that the world, in one way or another, is hard to discern and grasp in its vastness.

Series  02

Urban
Landscape

Cities are organic components where human life is circumscribed — the city grows, mutates, rearranges and reconfigures itself constantly. Texture and colour are the elements that form the basis of this series, representing through wounds, cavities and textures the symptomatic displays of the urban spectrum.
