My proposal is built upon energy as a source of both light and color.
Light fascinates me. There is something alchemical about its essence, in its capacity to turn the invisible into visible bringing it to life. More so, it makes the manifestation of color possible, a key element in our perception of the world. It suggests interpretations, transmits feelings and prompt us to connect with ourselves.
This alchemy fans my creative capacity and inspires my artistic work, for in it there is a paradox present, that which is and at the some time isn´t.
Through abstract representations I suggest subtle, magic and imaginary worlds that go beyond reality.
In this fashion, pieces of diverse materiality and format arise, from unidimensional designs to representations with volume, through the use of a mixture of traditional techniques and digital apps without leaving behind a permanent experimantation with painting
I utilize diverse materials such us canvas, methacrylate, resin, wood and metallic elements all of who are subject to different susface treatments that add texture and color.
The development of each single piece is what provides meaning to my work. It is about a process of succesive transformations that encompasses times for action and reflection, trough which the piece takes shape and expresses itself. Thus, the essence of worlds that appear before me to desappear afterwards and perhaps continue their own life cycle is captured.

It is said that Athanor was the intrument utilized by alchemists in their search of metals transmutation. It is, doubtless, an external look, since there is another internal, spiritual one, which tells us that alchemists really pursued -and still pursue- their own inner transformation.
Since my connection to art has something of alchemy, I chose Athanor as a source of permanent inspiration, and I created an image to visualize it as well.
In this way, my artistic approach drives me through a path of personal development, what is expressed by the different shapes Athanor image takes in my work.
In this dimension, Athanor is me.
