Artist Statement

I always find it very difficult to find the ending of each piece. The beginning is simple, the middle is simple, but the ending is a thriller. I try to blend or have a good rhythm of colors, always trying to have a unique set of tones that will bring the artwork interesting enough for the viewer.

Angel Baby, 2025. Digital collage on premium archival matt photo paper, 60.96x60.96 cm.

Mystery is my favorite feeling when it comes to creating a scene; the energy that travels through me is rewarding, a sensation of a mental escape that I can never get enough of. The eye that I see when I begin working on a piece of work tells me that I need to find a balance, a Kendrick but also dreamlike environment;

the emotions that come to play with each character that I place have a spell cast onto them. I don't know how else to put it, but they connect together really well, at least what I can see and feel from the finished artwork. A marionette is what I do. I hope you enjoyed the show.
