and Baroque, I proposed
conjugate in a balance, a
personal and contemporary
work, with a purely
traditional method, mystical
technique, almost alchemic.
That I try to execute with the
most honest way possible… and
is that sometimes the
illumination, also is
accompanied by the knowledge.
The series of drawings of 2008
in mixed technique “The Demons
of a Western Man”, is a route
somewhat oneiric, and almost
paranoiac of the great ideas,
fears (demons), that have
accompanied the mind and
history of the Western man.
That man able to change his
ideas, world, own opinion and
able to generate its evils in
a very short period of its
existence like civilization.
