ARTISTIC STATEMENT:
His painting shows a self-taught and figurative style characterized by the unique and dispersed stroke, combined with a painting diluted in gray layers of color and matter. His themes can be summarized in urban landscapes, seascapes, bell towers, cafe interiors or popular themes, such as castles or correfocs. As the artist has defined, he likes to paint more than to draw; he likes to express with a simple detail what he wants to represent; he leaves aside his imagination and in an impressionistic way, he expresses it in his works.
