Artist Statement My art is inspired by mother nature, by the narratives that I live every day in the awaken of the consciousness. I become a chronic of my time, of my thoughts and my life experiences and lives of other human beings. My art comes from the majestic beauty of nature, sacred images that my dreams reveal, thus becoming the fountain of inspiration that when I get up nurtures me. The connexion with an unknown being, unreachable, that whispers in my ears stories, dreams, caught in paper, ink and time. When I create art time stops, and reveals images that sometimes I don’t even know they come from my head. I work with different medias and my art doesn’t have limits in the materials I use. My art comprehends two trends one is abstract art and secondly, figurative art.
