STATEMENT
My drawings come from stains on the floor, from carpets patterns, from shapes of flowers and branches, they come from biology illustrations, from the configuration of neurons in the brain, from the words I write every time I start a piece. My drawings have the freedom of the cracks left by the rain and of the drop that falls by mistake.
My drawings come from physical and mental connections, from meshes produced by the passage of time, from the discord of beings that surround me and also from their harmony, my lines are loosened and travel to other dimensions.
I draw because I want, because I like it, because it separates me from the everyday life and introduce me to a situation outside of reality, I draw because I immerse myself in my own world that does not resemble the world of anyone else.
