Artist statement
My interest to explore the human face, started because I developed an
intense desire to observe inside the eyes and understand the
kaleidoscope aspect of the soul. I not only look at the details of a
face but it is with the interest that I start looking, and then keep
looking deeper inside the eyes. I feel there is an uncontainable
passion for colors and the light when using acrylic paint and is
exactly in that intensity of applying the paint that I find, through
the process, the intensity of the eyes. It is by looking deeper into
the eyes that I travel in time and try to transmit my reality and my
closeness to the subjects.
