'Wilderness'

           During the last century, especially in recent years, artistic expression has created new media, languages, materials, etc. But despite the constant search for newness and update, it has maintained one of its key aspects: the reflection about both the meaning of human existence and the world of the intangible and the ethereal.

​

Life comes from nature. And when life vanishes, this happens through it as well. At some point in life, everybody need to ask themselves about the world around us, and the meaning of life. And so, in order to be understood, nature needs to be interpreted. In this way, the contemplation of nature turns itself into an experience of spiritual meaning.

​

The inherent relationship between mankind and nature goes back to human origins, when landscape started becoming a universal language itself. Historically, its contemplation has been clear evidence of this relationship, which has taken on special relevance when we have felt more connected with Nature. Landscape, therefore, is somehow linked to the history of cultures. I strongly believe that the great tragedy of modern humankind, lies in our gradual dissociation from nature. By understanding nature and lifestyle as different and separated things, modern societies worldwide are suffering from melancholy and depression.

​

My conception of art lies next to landscape, as a way of capture the concept nature. This admiration of nature implies certain sensitivity to movement and transformation, and involves an active and calmed contemplation of mountains, animals, the water flowing, etc. This contemplation itself is not necessarily my final goal, but it is for me a unique way of connecting with nature in a transcendental way. In my work, I aim to reflect the rhythms of nature, combining the classic values of landscape with the dynamics of contemporary art. At the same time, I feel attracted by the idea of neo-romanticism, which lets us re-position ourselves around the natural environment and its simplicity and complexity.

​

Color gradations, combined with light and shadows take us beyond the external representation of the landscape. They help us get into it, in a process involving the essence of our relationship with the magnificence of nature.
