I like to portray objects. To enhance visual metaphors and above all to use irony through everyday things, current, old, or exclusive, as a chronicle of what we are and were through what we have created. I like to use hyperrealism as a means and not only as an end. There must always be something to tell, something that goes beyond a simple static/aesthetic proposal that allows the viewer to obtain his own sensations.
