When Painters transform reality.
With a lot of daring, scenarios are written with unconscious looks that manage to make us doubt reality, creating strangeness in the life they show to see, without knowing it before, so everything is a pretext to extract a scene where characters appear there, improbable, cruel and gentle, who naturally come to write their story in the painting, nothing is defined, it is only afterwards, almost at the end that the title and the subject take shape, change the he established order, leaving the characters in postures that do not conform, the writing being done as the development progresses, figurative work or barely perceptible messages are transmitted about our humanity.
Influences are often asked of us to artists, for my part everything is influence, life, the world where I circulate, everything that I am given to see, the art scene is an influence and this in all disciplines, why confine yourself, I say things as they happen to me, without preparation or learning, Did Neanderthal Man have influences to write on the walls, he reproduced this that he saw what was a blindness for him by writing stories, so maybe I look like them and that would be magic.
