There is a melancholy in this work, perhaps incompleteness, as if I could not decipher reality. I call it Mystery. "The Brightest Star" is also something very personal and inspired by my Nature hikes.

This artwork belongs to a series of abstracted compositions I created using rudimentary shapes as a primary source for language. How lines intersect or cross paths, how circular patterns reflect infinity and timeless conversation (or lack thereof) and how the seemingly random isn't random at all.

Thermal Mapping is a look into the crisis of global warming. An mapping of how the core of our earth is following a path of extreme overheating and inevitable devastation.

This work is created using a variety of paintbrushes, pencils and markers. While this artwork is created with a computer, the technique is still very much traditionally based. By using a drawing tablet, I stay physically connected to my drawing surface, which allows for organic gestures to stay intact and free flowing. Through the remarkable advancements in technology, a digital medium allows for endless possibilities to experiment (and blend) with textures, shapes, color, layers and papers.

The place behind the fence has no entrance, and it was abended for more than 20 years. A young lady told me that it was a government's dog pound before, but she never saw it, so did I. I do not hear the howling but only see the branches weave in and out, and weeds have grown on the wall. I spent eight weeks shooting the only two weeds that grew at my eye level behind the fence. Every week, I shot at the same time and never changed any setting on my analog camera — instead, I needed to walk near the fence again.

The Landscape project started in 2018 with the idea to express itself as a reset of the classic academic landscape painting exercise for the representation of a wide and careful composition of natural bodies in various geographic, chromatic and climacteric contexts, where human or artificial structures where, sometimes, also included.
The intention is to remove the term “scenic” and two-dimensional aspects from this artistic expression, updating it to a contemporary context, with four dimensions, leading the viewer to witness this landscape, this “frame” as a real and natural physical space.
Thus, we no longer integrate an individual graphic interpretation, but evolving to a full experience with a tectonic reaction that encompasses multiple perceptions and interpretations.
We are now inside a limitless space for art, and we unconsciously enhance our abilities to perceive space without Cartesian references.
Landscape is an “homage” to nature as new perceptual exercise created through the insertion of a disruptive artificial element. All of the installations are temporary and all materials used for the construction of the pieces are reused from waste of cinema decor industry.
Through this construction, the artist reveals his imaginary, and the viewer his perception.
Form, scale, color - search for configurations without equivalents in the natural environment, to establish a new scenic dimension that provides the observer with a different reading and experience of the landscape, with the main purpose to promote awareness and appreciation of both.
It is a moment of contrast between reality and illusion, organic and geometric, natural and artificial.
The idea is to expand the Landscape project to other territories with a new process of investigation and installation, with the intent to record as maximum landscapes as possible.

Blush is a generative simulation environment that models the flow and blending dynamics of paint. An array of control parameters allow artists and designers to experiment with hue, saturation, blending characteristics, and viscosity. These design experiments can be rendered as still images or animations that highlight the paint-like qualities of the digital material.
