He is always.
By your side.
Sometimes you can.
Hear him.
When the head.
Is calmer down.
Other times.
You ask him to talk to you.
But the head.
It’s full.
And the noise.
It won’t let you.
Hear him.
But he stays there.
By your side. As he has always been.
Listening to him is a question.
Of attention.
That’s where the connection begins.

"We are facing an autodidact of rare virtuosity and sagacious spirituality. Of expressive path, clearly of surrealism tendency, there is in his compositions an imaginary that itinerates between the theme of the sacred and the subconscious observation, but attentive, of everyday life. The work is of art because each one sees himself in it and because the artist is ambiguous enough to be able to create strong and sensitive forms. It is an ambiguous and sensitive painting, honest and loyal. We identify it figuration, but it is the abstraction of what it represents that makes us like it.".
