ART CONCEPT
BE FREE, BE TRUE, BE YOU
PHILOSOPHY, SOCIETY AND INTERCULTURALITY
The artistic, literary and academic creations of my professional work seek to understand, explore and express wonder at the various spheres of human existence and its relationship with nature and the universe. Color, words and shapes merge to invite the viewer to investigate the themes that run through the life of the planet’s societies.
ART MANIFESTING IDEAS, CONCEPT AND MAKING VISIBLE DEEP REALITIES: MIGRATIONS, CLIMATE CHANGE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, BIODIVERSITY, PEACE AND INTERCULTURALITY.
◉ 5% of the value of each painting is donated to the communities and projects of the NGO Earth of Peace.
My productions as a contemporary artist integrate virtual reality and the metaverse. Recent exhibitions have merged three interdisciplinary layers: painting, literature and audiovisual projection, linking the study of music, architecture, poetry, virtual reality, dance, animations and painting, centered and articulated around the theme of human rights, the environment and interculturality.
The paintings, both in the real world and in virtual reality, in the latest exhibitions are in acrylic on canvas and combine abstract and conceptual art styles.
All my current and future works develop in the real physical world through traditional fine art materials: acrylic paints, oils and inks on stretchers; and in parallel, I create the works in the metaverse with the use of new technologies, artificial intelligence and augmented reality, producing the original NFTs and animations of each work which are incorporated into my Virtual Reality Gallery.

UNITY
On the basis of time and space the life of the universe develops. A smooth natural movement slides the grains of the hourglass of history between the extremes of existence in a constant search for balance. Past and future, right and left hemisphere, North-South and East-West. The chain of life, fragile and infinite, seeks its next link. A code, a guide and a ladder of actions that lead to human, natural and artificial integration that restore the lost balance. Nature and technology, virtual and real world, artificial intelligence and human, society and planet earth.
The children of tomorrow look at the present with hope, from a future that still appears diffuse and incomplete, their dreams extend their arms towards the present. Science and religion. Brain and heart. Reason and intuition. Between wars, poverty, inequality, crises, migration, extinction, climate change and natural disasters, human beings write the present between brilliant inventions and new technologies, based on the mistakes and successes of the past. Since time immemorial, all cultures and civilizations have written codes to live in community, harmony and unity with the planet. The SDGs seem to reflect the voice of today, the warning of the future. A voice that speaks to us in silence and resonates with each passing minute. A voice that seems to speak on behalf of nature and future generations.
