Statement

My current work dialogues on the power, the struggle, the authority and the relationship between them.
The pieces contain a subtle burden of social criticism, satirizing characters and situations, it is really pleasurable to show something of the absurd, hidden and/or ridiculous that we all have.
I Intend to create a disposition in the public different from the simple superficial gaze of things, to address in a new way the obsessions about the order of things and authority.
