  • The Assault 120 cms x 130 cmsPaper, wax and pigments2009These drawings are made of paper, so that the drawing protrudes from the wall, allowing the public to glimpse lines, volumes and shadows. It is a drawing that is free of support, like a sculpture floating in space.

  • Hoopvol 95 cms x 70 cmsPaper, wax and pigments2009Line drawing is always associated with something slender, very slender.

These are the questions I made myself during the course of my work, while seeking new paths to extend the possibilities of drawing into the third dimension.
  • Trekkers 100 cms x 105 cmsPaper, wax and pigments2009Invariably, the themes I choose are determined by the richness and variety of the lines a particular image conjures: for example, crowds, an ideal subject not just for the wealth of moving lines, but due to the individual happenings that take place in crowds.
  • Pilgrims 50 cms x 75 cmsPaper, wax and pigments2008Groups looking like clouds of people emerging from the wall and approaching the viewer, in which bodies dissolve into other bodies, inspiring identity and sensual connotations.
  • The senseless effort of every day 55 cms x 110 cmsPaper, wax and pigments2009The ensembles of men and women, in casual clothing, walking down the street, chasing their shadows, constitute an example of that Diaspora of immigrants carrying only the clothes they have on their backs, guided by destiny.
