About the Item

The paintings and sculptures that I am creating at the moment are very colorful and full of words that intertwine to form a central message. I still use codes and hidden messages as I have always done since my beginnings. There is always a very clear message in each work and another that is subliminal. I play with the true and the false to question the viewer and I often use puns to criticize or question the idea that I develop in my work. I like to play with words and invite the viewer to get lost in this labyrinth.
