An artist who has dabbled in various media that transformed it into one of the largest in the field concerning art in our country. Owner of a very particular artistic impression able to develop over his career, including drawing, painting and installing an imaginary self an archivist. The iconography of his play is about people and situations, customs and urban, to popular myths and the mythology, magic, the alchemy.
Artigas, political prisoners, Trojan horses, Perseus, toys, carnival parades, the circus, were excuses to exercise his artistic strategy. His work marks a fundamental territory, where they cross over elements that are repeated time and reorder. (Fernando López Lage)
