Art is a personal necessity, something made from the primitive essence of a being seeking connection with a higher power, thus transcending its own reality. When you understand this, you understand that you, as an artist, are nothing more than a key capable of opening some of the doors with which people can identify.
You understand that your personal experiences no longer belong to you, they are now amalgamated tools for the creation of your own language. In addition to painting, which has been a part of my life since my first childhood memories watching my grandfather and father paint, music, which has enriched my life both as the audience and as a performer, and the ability to tell stories, which my work in advertising has taught me, have come together to show that what started as a mistake, like rebellious lines which intertwine repeatedly without any apparent meaning, ends up transforming itself into a moment in history which you, as a spectator, can now complete.
