I am...
basically a painter, but also I draw a lot, and used to work with digital media and video.
About my artwork
In my work, relationship with representation varies from one painting to another. Sometimes my paintings are more mimetic, others more symbolic or allusive. I like thinking about my paintings as models, in the scientific sense of the term: a description or analogy used to help visualize something that cannot be directly observed. My paintings are the detailed representation of something that works like a substitute of another thing that can not be reproduced.

All of my works come from a previous image, whether other artists' works, photographs, ads, scientific book illustrations or my own drawings. Even when I make a portrait, I never work from nature. I work after images that surrounds me and, for some reason I not entirely understand, seduces me.

For me, painting is a process, related with memory and time. The images of my paintings are surviving images, the result of a reiterative process of painting, and removing and scratching of the painted surface. Maybe is a way to say that everything is perishable, but, somehow, thanks memory, something remains.

Francis Bacon, Max Beckmann, Edward Hopper, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Lucien Freud, Luc Tuymans, Marlene Dumas, Leon Kossoff, Bruce Nauman, Yoshitomo Nara, Wilhelm Sasnal, Guillermo Kuitca, Tulio de Sagastizabal
