Artist Statement:
Introduction.
The main features that best
describe my work, are closely
related to the unconscious
images of death and eroticism.
Both present as methaphors of
life and death, and a clearly

conflict, surrounded by
metaphors of beginnings and
endings".
"Today, we find the real truth

universe that which has been
given to us in life, with the
payment of our own death, so
life can emerge again."
Life-death-life. (Jorge Llaca,
winter 2001)
