His work begins with the study and research of global
context and the result is an abstract deconstruction of landscapes, primary
focused on technology and the constant need of cities systematization. The landscape is represented with individual
lines that integrate and create codes and color spaces that comes alive with
time and space as architecture does.
The meticulous experimentation of color, lines and light
is always present in his work. Color lines collides and create complex forms, sequences
and geometric variations that generates chromatic spectrums which like
architectural deconstruction wants to create a visual or emotional impact.
His work is part of public and
private collections.
