Artist statement
My studies have led me to focus on the lines and planes of the Human Face incorporating them in a variety of Series’ exploring their meaning and messages in different contexts. This has led to a natural, Biomorphic style in cursive forms and shapes, and to embed these figures inside each other through the use of color; one could rediscover in these shapes, false perspectives and many views, facets of their own appreciation of the face. From the complex face with all its structure parts to the simplest, minimalist stage. I would like the visual stimulation portrayed to be fully received rather than just perceived, for the viewer to see rather than simply look at colors and forms. The continuation of my studies has also been expanded to my Sculptures which includes my Piano Pieces Series and other aspects of my art like my jewelry.
