Artist Statement:
I have not studied in any
school of art, because the
painting is passion and this
is not taught.
I do not consider myself self
-taught but self educated. I
assume that Caravaggio and
Rembrand are my teachers.
I have studied forestry in the
university.
The station of my work is my
painting " did Rembrand knows
Altamira ?" at 2002. Looking
at this painting, someone
could see the " "night patrol"
of rembrand painted on a rock
surface of a cave, someone
else could see an abstract
painting with many colors here
and there that luckily
resulted in that classic piece
of art (as, according to the
theory of chaos, a chimpanzee
pressing randomly the keyboard
of a typewriter has the
possibility to write
Shakespeare ) some other could
see a detrited cave painting
of Altamira, which when
rembrand faced it with its mat
colors, he painted his
classical work.
I was puzzled for months why
the "night patrol" was so
perfect piece of artwork? It
was not, of course, because
Rembrand painted nicely 20 -
30 people. But because of the
perfect lines, colors,
excellent light, everything on
it was wisely painted in a
perfect way with the right
quantities in the space.
