ARTIST STATEMENT


As a faithful follower of color, my current research has led me to study the iridescent effects that show and reflect the colors of the rainbow in natural and industrial elements in our environment and societies. This aesthetic investigation began through photographic exercises to catch the color radiation inside an aqueous body after the decomposition of light, from there I have been investigating the color through light and the materialization of this intangible phenomenon communicating what I see and feel from it in various techniques that could evoke and reproduce colors with their shades and approximations from each other, the wateriness with the organicity, volume and expansion, the light with transparency in colorless spaces to potentiate its chromatic values and sentiments housed in those colors expressing feelings and words, all in abstract and figurative contexts nourished by the different elements that make up the physical, geographical and cultural space that I inhabit.
