Leonardo da Vinci said:"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."That's
my aim too.
I am very hesitant to call myself artist,surely I am a painter,
simply because I have studying painting since 1989. Painting to me is just a functional way to facilitate communication.
"Is not abstract art, is the extract "
Starting from the rubble, I pull out the fine details
that I need.
I am not into ego-tripping, egotistical obscure self-expression, there is nothing intellectual
about my work and, I don’t do spectacular “la Bella figura” look at me big arty thing.
I am fascinated by the idea of breaking down language barriers by synthesized information;
technically my job is to build a vivacious language that anyone can easily do in substitution of the abstruse speeches, that's
all, nothing more .
....Oops, I wrote too many dull words.

from a church, is
just a prop.
