Declaration of Artist
Concept/Idea of works

In my works I try to show my point of view of the special world and in of the society, so that me center in the main element, the Human being, simultaneously who I am based on experiences and personal ideas that they have marked to me specially, - finalized and other present ones or that of certain way still last, at brief moments of personal and/or the memory.

Treatment to include/understand and to express the time in which we lived, to understand my human contradictions like person and those of others. Desire to express the reality of the society of today, immersed in a moral crisis, of destruction of everything what it surrounds to us, our world and of which we want more and we ourself, and thus to even manage to express these ideas using an intimate and personal language of communication between my person, my work and the spectator - of in addition the fact to use me to my same one like object for the representation in the images there.

A work cannot be made that speaks of all it, is a too complex set, reason why ground to work in serial format, so that each work represents a human being, an emotion, a mood, and the union of all of them creates the society, completes the idea.

My works and my style are born of a reflection on which it is and what it represents the Human being in the society, they are the result of the balanced union of two elements, the idea and the plasticity.

It interests the pure touching unloading, the aggressiveness - controlled or not and the pulsión to me at certain moments of the creative process, completing it with the ideas, that they are totally personal, some simpler more complex others, clearing in some case the philosophy.

In this way I reach the conclusion that the Human being, like main element of the society, is influenced continuously and uninterruptedly by the facts that in this happen, which shows it through his actions, reactions, thoughts and feelings.

Everything what happens to him is noticeable in its interior, its soul, its mind,… so that each new sensation enters conflict with which already finds inside.

Thus, childbirth of the idea that originally the Human being is pure and sensible, and therefore is fragile before which it surrounds to him, as much if he is negative as if it is not it. On this one idea there are some who are to favor and who are against, as they are Hobbes and Rosseau, respectively. Reason why I suggest some Human beings before these attacks choose to protect myself covering his true I, other no. The one that does usually creates superficial layers different from as it is itself really, stronger, hiding therefore the original Human being.

When receiving continuously information of the outside (society in general or other Human Seres in particular) internal conflicts are created, coverall when the influences that arrive are negative because these usually arrive in blocks, being able to break the superficial layers that were created to protect themselves. If he is too weak and the information is negative contaminates to us and influences. When this contamination is gotten to produce they create conflicts in its interior, being able to supplant the good one by the bad thing, or burying the positive that they have under the negative, if they do not realize of which it happens or it is too much behind schedule. But it is possible to be faced and also to be won.

In this way the Human being has internal tensions that cause that it is in continuous fight with itself defending itself of the outside, until estros conflicts are accumulated in such a way that they make arrive at the physical limit as as much emotional.

This one point is the one that interests to develop to me in this one project, the representation of the state limit at which it is possible to be arrived through photographies and pictorial works. In addition, considering that representing the Human being is not necessary to do it through the human figure, but that it can appear the whole figure, a part, a characteristic or simply nothing, since the essence of the Human being already is present in the work, in this way, if one of works is a tríptico is not essential that the figure appears in the three parts.

But in addition childbirth to the idea that the photographic images that I made are from my person. And it is that the human body throughout the time has gotten to be one from the used subjects more and as average through as the artists they have been centered in the production of his works. As well as in addition they are based on its own life for the artistic creation, making reference to its own person, by means of the presentation of personal experiences, ideas, thoughts, feelings or of the events that surround to them or them they have affected or another one in a while.
A clear example of it is the Body Art, where in addition many to the artists have been centered like I in dealing with the subject the pain, as it is the case of Marina Abramovic and Ulay. Making emphasis, in addition, in the relation and points of connection with other artists and works.

Also the relation is important that is created between the artists and the spectator, the importance that gives the person him and as it affects to him. Thus, like also to the fact showing in its works, in addition to its own body, its personal experiences, feelings, thoughts. really, its life.

I reflect, in this way, on the pain and since this one has constituted an aim in itself, and as of some way the pain also has appeared as metaphor or means of denunciation. Since we could say that the pain in the Body Art would have to do with a species of somatización of another type of questions, generally political, racial, identitarias questions, sometimes, nuns, or, even artistic; resemblances to those of the any type of contemporary Art and that are to that the artist fixes his attention to work in them and to present/display them through his creations.
