“My feeling against the white cloth is a kind of vertigo that makes it impossible for me to interact with the same. I feel that I am on the brink of an abyss, but it is true that for some artists this is perhaps light they need for their work, but it is not my case, It impressed me much when I was talking to some friends writers who told me about the problem that they had against the sheet of paper in white. They had to put any phrase or lyric or something, as to “get dirty” and thus be able to begin writing.
In general, I cover fabric with colors that I left over and use them as a trigger to start a new adventure.
I never know what way to go, not where I go, I have a remote idea of what I represent …
Contrast is exactly what I do not want and that the work is a mirror of myself and others.
