The genesis of all perfect order

The truth is that I like all white surfaces, whatever they are, a wall or a canvas; I have a particular passion for all the big ones that scare me.

I grew up in a neighborhood that used to be peaceful; today is known as a lawless zone. This allows me to understand and tame all the stress produced by the web; no subject or motif is known in advance about the white surface without touching it before starting to work.

Many of my paintings are born with a certain ease and others in pain, and for this, all the surfaces must be well prepared before I apply the first coat of paint that I call chaos, the genesis of all perfect order. Then I started listening to my mind while trying to figure out the drawing; the process can be long, depending on what was found first.

Anything that could leave a trace in the creative process is used, such as coffee grounds, markers, spray, oil sticks, and acrylic paint.
