Tendency and Style
He becomes an history teller trough his paints as a complete form of expression
inside thid expression he developes his own way, makes an interpretation and express daily reality with a new vision of, so common and so familiar situations thar undergoes inadvertently and are resdiscovered in order to show the importance of simple things that not appear to be exceptional, because we use to see them every day (premeditated on purpose) doesn't paint under the influence on the painters he admires, instead he tries to be authentically himself.
Characteristics from his paintings
Three main qualities subdue his job
  • Space distribution as space in movement not settled to the perspective statues

  • Light source: it doesn"t came from a solid form like the sun or a simple lamp that lights the object it touch, instead, it leaves them or leave the ground itself to create their own light ( or luminicences).


  • Subject: an history developing inside the winding movements at first sight, it usually seems a joyful and frivolous telling, but this is just the appearance of serious ironic critic, leavong instead a free space to the viewer and let him to make his own interpretation.

During the plot and developing of this painting chronics there have been hiden kriptic simbols perfectly mixed with the objects inside the painting, by this, the simbolic language speaks and appeals the viewer subconscious and to scence himself, it recognices the simbol familiar to him establishing by these an identification not easy to explain with words.

Filosophy
The arts aim on a high perception must move the awakening on the viewer and respectful approaching to genuies happines feelings must touch gently common roots deeply scencial inside the man kind, a work of art must arise from the internal genious that like a virtue must bring and contain , must be conducted with dignity and respect to manipulation of the work of art . The artist himself learns about during the journey and efforts made to find oneself and with his appreciating conscience enjoys beauty common to all the men kind over the world.
