The yarn is the inspiration in all my creative process. The real magic that is obtained from the combination of different types of yarns, the weaving process of overlapping threads vertically and horizontally (warp and weft), the union between the threads and the result of solid and resistant fabrics with variations of soft or hard textures is a process that has captivated me for thirty-five years and is the reason for my art: a dialogue that I establish between my work and the viewer to express my inner world with its algid, fluid and continuous points of life itself.
I express my art through the positional undulations of the fabrics and chamois in the structure where I play with their textures and colors to create an abstract, emotional, balanced and contemplative composition. The use of oil pigment as an initial support in my work, allows me to recreate the threaded lines of the fabric to give a manufactured character to the work.
My art is a proposal to introspection, to the internal search of the self, to externalize better skills and offers to the viewer.
