Biography

My research started off with an analysis of the subjects of solitude and abandonment. These are feelings that are universally distributed and that wound one’s spirit leaving rather deep scars. This period which I have called “SOUL WOUNDS” is characterized by the urgency of the the emotions and feelings that drive and condition the creative act.
My attention then moved from the wounds of the soul to the wounds of the body, received as a conseguence of a surgical attempt to cure the ailment. Art and surgery interact, it's the “SURGERY ART”.

I now seek more aesthetically serene images in the medical world which I interlace with works on nature. Human body and roses...”SURGERY AND ROSES".
