The presentation of my publications as a poet and writer, suggested me to approach a self-taught visual art. Be free from constraints, teachings, knowledge, but under a strong push to use art as communication, has enabled me to research, study, use: materials, tools, ideas that allowed me to give the written word, an innovative visual configuration , less restrictive, more engaging, perceptible and usable, thus beginning my work I have called "three-dimensional lyricism." Although the poems do not find such a widespread use, I think that the ability to process and synthesize a concept in art, as in poetry, is a powerful and symbolic means of visual and communicative impact. Give tangible meaning to the words, turning them into concrete objects, visual, palpable, facilitates and strengthens the understanding, stimulating interest and widening the perceptual possibilities. Some of my works were created only to be used on the covers of my books, thus combining different artistic expressions. This is a process, which sees the reverse process, that is, the visual art return to the origin from which it was left, that is to say the writing.
