A VISION OF REALITY TROUGH ART AND CREATIVITY
ART MADE FOR INNER LIBERATION, PEACE OF MIND, AND CREATION OF SENSITIVE KNOWLWDGE TO UNDERSTAND REALITY.
THAT´S WHAT MY WORK IS ALL ABOUT
ARTE PARA LA LIBERACIÓN INTERIOR, PAZ, SERENIDAD Y EL CONOCIMIENTO SENSIBLE PARA ENTENDER MEJOR LA REALIDAD.
ESO ES LO QUE BUSCO TRANSMITIR EN MIS OBRAS.

BLACK, GREY AND MOON (TAP ON THE IMAGE)
In my works (Black & grey & moon) you will appreciate the expression of human skin color in its different shades, in representations of abstract geometric shapes or similar to stylized human shapes.
Human skin, its color, its temperature, its aroma, its texture, are sensations that remain as an eternal need in the human being, from the past, present and future. You need contact and vision of the skin of others, and your own. A vision of the future cannot exclude human contact in favor of an isolationist idea of being in solitude, connected, but at a distance from others, far from the skin of others, this is the degradation of humanity and its dissolution as a society.
Those are some of my daily obsessions, that I’ve found a path to express in images by using neutral colors, the light and dark tones of skin, and geometric shapes.
En mis obras (Black & grey & moon) apreciarás la expresión del color de la piel humana en sus diferentes tonalidades, en representaciones de formas geométricas abstractas o similares a formas humanas estilizadas.
La piel humana, su color, su temperatura, su aroma, su textura, son sensaciones que quedan como una necesidad eterna en el ser humano, del pasado, del presente y del futuro. Necesitas contacto y visión de la piel de los demás, y de la tuya propia. Una visión del futuro no puede excluir el contacto humano en favor de una idea aislacionista de estar en soledad, conectados, pero a distancia de los demás, lejos de la piel de los demás, esto es la degradación de la humanidad y su disolución como sociedad. .
Esas son algunas de mis obsesiones diarias, que he encontrado un camino para expresar en imágenes utilizando colores neutros, los tonos claros y oscuros de la piel y formas geométricas.
THE ZINC SHEETS PAINTINGS (TAP ON THE IMAGE)
Zinc sheets, which are widely used here in Uruguay, in roofs and walls of all types of home constructions, are bad for insulating temperature. Indoor environments become freezing in winter and very hot in summer. Although people use them widely because of their low cost and ease of installation.
When they deteriorate too much, commonly they recicle them for minor constructions such as chicken coops, sheds, pigsties, or dog houses. The paintings expresses my interest in the way these sheets change their color as they get rusty (after years of enduring cold, heat, rain, frost or hail) from the original metallic gray to a wide range of earthy colors, very interesting to experiment with differents art media.
Las chapas de zinc que son muy usadas aquí en Uruguay, techos y paredes de todo tipo de construcciones caseras, son malas para aislar la temperatura. Los ambientes interiores se vuelven helados en invierno y muy calurosos en verano. A pesar de ello la gente las usa por su bajo costo y facilidad de instalación. Cuando se deterioran demasiado, se aprovechan para construcciones menores como gallineros, galpones, chiqueros , o casas para perros. Las pinturas expresan mi interés en la forma en que esas chapas van oxidándose y cambiando su color, (luego de años soportando frío, calor, lluvia, heladas o granizo), desde el gris metálico original a toda una gama de colores terrosos , muy interesantes de experimentar con diferentes materiales de expresión plástica.
Potrait and Landscapes (tap on the image)
Many years ago, I thought that copying fragments of reality was my path, until an art journalist called me ‘a great copyist’ at one of my exhibitions. It may have been a compliment, but I realized I had to change direction. Anyway I practice figrative painting as well as abstract, I liked potrait genre, I found myself very comfortable doing it .
The Artist
I work as a visual artist and also teach art in secondary education, an activity that both keeps me up at night and excites me. My students surprise me every day with their artistic potential and their ideas and opinions about art, which inspire me in my creative work. I can learn as much from them as they learn from my classes.
