” I do consider myself a portraitist, since my early childhood I have being drawing faces. I consider them the best way to canalize expression in art. We identify with faces, there is a story in each one of them that we let our imagination create. I really hope my art can create something as fauvism did for its time (Fauvism means wild beast in French, were the movement started). I’m a strong believer that we all have to embrace this wild creative beast inside of us, to be transgressors in our ideals. Most important the Fauvist movement values individual expression, the artist direct experience of his emotional response to life.”  Jean Paul Fauves.

“I have painted since I can remember, it’s truly like therapy to me. It’s almost a necessity to bring a balance to my soul. I believe art is the way our soul communicates to the world”

“For me art is the expression of the soul. So this old art pieces are pictures of your soul , its like if you find a picture of yourself as a kid. You look at it and remember that moment, your friends, family your thoughts… Now imagine that of your soul.”
