According to the artist “Art is not communication, that would be advertising, with its slogans with a strong behavioral and operational content. Art is expression, energy and vibration of feelings amidst chaos, manifestation in colors and shapes, in a play of light and shadow orchestrated under some kind of code imposed by the artist himself in an infinite possibility of arrangements. ”
