Artist’s Statement

I could describe in detail the shades of pink of that which does not even exist.

The unbelievable ability of our species to be amazed with itself since it believed to have made the night disappear has robbed us of perspective creating a disconnect between the delusion of purpose and the reality of our irrelevance.The objective of my work is to highlight through innocence a contrasting perspective about feeling, of an apparently unstructured mess, beauty in imperfection, of what inspires us in that pause between days but makes us wake up in the morning, of the dissonance between active and ideal states that most often than not overwhelms our perception.
