Oil painting is my favorite medium. I currenly use on my painting the spatula and oil bars for freedom that give me these means . Sometime I mix the technique of painting with spatula and drawing with oil bars. Always I enjoyed working with the human figure. I see a body as a landscape of ripples, grooves volumes that sometime transmuted into organic abstraction. Some proposal metaphorically cognate with tropical fruit like "cundiamor". The curved line, light, shadow, attached to their color of the tropics, frame and nourish my pictorical proposals. Body lanscapes, specially the famale figure with its natural and misterious beauty, inspired me to create my dimension in art projection of my concerns, ideas and feelings. For me, art is a form of expression and creation of certain alternative realities, where imagination is the limit.
