In my paintings and prints I use elements from the world which surround me. I like painting people engaged in activities. Some are like snapshots - scenes of daily life.
Although they are personal, they are not exclusively autobiographical. Others are more complicated, often with religious or mythological themes. These works generally present a re-creation of an event in which I use elements from my other paintings, from current culture and from art history.

I use the basic visual language elements of shape, tone, texture, color and form, trying to express compositionally different qualities, such as movement, rhythm, contrast, and harmony.
Sketch after sketch, after the main structural elements of the composition are established, I start to paint keeping in mind to balance the overall tonal values, sustain the unity of the composition, and avoid monotony.
