Artist Statement:
ART AND ITS CONCEPTION
In the creative process, we
can start from reality, but we
must find our own way of
communicating, resisting the
temptation to give in to
simple imitation. Reality is
only a point of reference. Art
is and must be abstract to the
extend that it makes use of
ideas, not objects. But being
abstract does not mean being
empty of content. I feel that
if an artist has nothing to
say, nothing to communicate,
he can't create art. In
addition, he has to find a way
of doing so.

EL ARTE Y SU CONCEPCION
En la creación podemos partir
de la realidad pero debemos
buscar un lenguaje propio para
comunicarnos, evitando caer en
la simple imitación. La
realidad es sólo una
referencia. El arte es y debe
ser abstracto en la medida que
trabaja con ideas y no con
objetos. Pero ser abstracto no
significa que sea vacío en
contenido. Considero que si un
artista no tiene nada que
decir, nada que comunicar no
puede hacer arte. También
tiene que encontrar el camino
