I
like to work with simple shapes and abstract visions of nature, rural
and urban landscapes, the sea, the sun and animals.
When
I paint, I try to take images from real life and translate
them into my personal vision. The results I look for are new and harmonious
images. Sometimes they are nonfigurative; sometimes they are abstract
versions of the natural world. I like to use sharp colors in my paintings
and black and white in my drawings, to highlight the brightness of nature
or emphasize shapes and forms. I work mainly with acrylic and ink on
solid bleached board or canvas.
Uruguayan
masters such as Carlos Paez Vilaro and Joaquin Torres Garcia are my
source of inspiration. I like to explore Joaquín Torres-Garcias
Universal Constructivism, looking to incorporate the human
experience into the simple shapes of his "spiritual geometry"
and golden rule. I try to recreate Carlos Paez Vilaros
drawing style using basic and erratic forms.
