Work of abstract and neo expressionist character, in which the artist presents a canvas whose image is vibrant and dynamic, achieving a great expressiveness, through the pictorial composition. It is a representation in which the use of textures generated by the materials has a great presence that harmonizes with the great intensity of the color used. Thus creating a pictorial atmosphere that appeals to the viewer and creates a binding emotional narrative. Thus, as we see here, the pictorial forms are the result of a thoughtful composition and experimentation, with an image of gestural character, are not limited to an abstract composition, but go beyond, indicating to the viewer that it is about forms, ideas or suggestions that cross the boundaries of the purely pictorial and tell us about the painter's own craft.
