I conceive art as a catalyst for Nature and its multiple transformations. The artistic task guides me on the path of understanding, delving and careful observing the real dimension of existence.
Every stroke every color every space speaks to me in different ways. Some shout with enthusiasm like children playing under the rain on a summer day others simply glide as owners of a newly vast territory conquered. In all of them I feel its passion its boldness its debauchery its tender company.
Art is the door of perfection that connects me with what in essence I am “YOSOY” a compendium of ancestral knowledge of imagined and lived experiences of other arts of oneiric contents that push me into creation.
With art as an inseparable companion we have given ourselves feedback and made trips to far away places to dark corners of the soul where light arrives in its opaque version. Also to diaphanous and luminous invented skies and some summits where staying or flying becomes an enigma.
I start my work under the effects of some impression some sensation and the chemistry and dynamics of the work does the rest. From that precise moment I immerse myself creating my own world in which thousand of possibilities disclose to me and then I decide which of them will be the generating matrix and how it will tell its story.
In a timeless space the work and I fought ourselves on a duel or dance without stepping on each other feet until that moment arrives in tremendous solitude but at the same time so promising that the creation manifests itself in countless brush-strokes.
In the choice of materials from the support on to the pictorial matter, from the technique to the intention of the plastic idea, in the risks assumed it is there in that decision that the soul of the artist is revealed.
