Artwork Gallery
Explore more than four decades of artistic evolution through carefully curated collections. Each piece tells a story, captures a moment, or explores a theme that has shaped my creative journey.
NewArt
Below is a sample of the different series you can review in the categories of this section, which I worked on in the last decade. I usually work (or play) in series and sometimes continue some from the past.
Willem & Cy
I have always been fascinated by abstract expressionist artists. Beyond the minimalism and clarity of Cy Twombly, which remains one of my favorites, I was always attracted by the complexity and strength of strokes and the depth of colors by Willem de Kooning. I learned from these idols, mostly from books and visiting their works in various museums.

Flowers
Flowers are among the most frequently depicted subjects in the history of painting. Flowers have inspired artists of all ages and cultures. From Kahlo, Rivera, Picasso, O'Keeffe, Murakami, Renoir, Matisse, and Twombly to Warhol, Van Gogh, Koons, Manet, Mondrian, Klimt, Monet, and Katz, everyone has used them in their prolific work.

Grazing
I have always been attracted to fields with grazing cows because they convey a sense of calm, peace, and harmony. I worked on this series with a restricted color palette, predominantly white, gold, and silver, trying to transfer the emotions they produce in me. This series is the continuation of Cows, another series I created two decades ago.

Beyond Chaos
The three series, Beyond Chaos, Playful Chaos, and Frenetic Chaos, could be a single series. They are part of the same spontaneous creation process, in which plain colors and scribbles prevailed over shapes.

Anarchy (The Masters)
The creative process for this series was to work spontaneously, with whatever came to mind first. And spontaneously, undoubtedly, anarchy emerged. I sense that in the creative processes of the great masters, there is a lot of intention and planning, but also anarchy. I felt free.

Unicyclists
Images from childhood are recurring. My uncle's Circus constantly flits in my memory. Among animals, beasts, and characters, those that stand out are the unicyclists, tightrope walkers, and trapeze artists. This series is the continuation of Circus, which I painted many years ago.

Chaos before the Masters
In this series, I experimented with words and images, echoing my time in journalism when I had to write a caption for every picture. Spontaneity can be vital in awakening new ideas and fostering greater creativity. This work evolved into another series, Anarchy, the Masters.

Black & White
Flowers are among the most frequently depicted subjects in the history of painting. Flowers have inspired artists of all ages and cultures. From Kahlo, Rivera, Picasso, O'Keeffe, Murakami, Renoir, Matisse, and Twombly to Warhol, Van Gogh, Koons, Manet, Mondrian, Klimt, Monet, and Katz, everyone has used them in their prolific work. The strokes of these renowned artists add diversity to the art world. I am most fascinated by the floral minimalism of Twombly—this Flowers Series is inspired by his flowers, colors, and strokes.

Deconstruction
In this series, perhaps one of the most worked and unstructured, emerges from the Geometric Chaos series. I continued working and searching to break forms. It led me to one of my most successful exhibitions at the Rubin Studio Gallery in Wynwood, Miami, Florida, in 2015. I had success online through Saatchi Art. Rubin Studio Gallery represented my works in parallel exhibitions at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2016 and 2017.

Organized Chaos
With decomposed forms, the abstract became more visible than ever. It was a long and traumatic process, thought out, not spontaneous. Draw the shapes, blur them, and repeat the process, an exercise to erase contours and colors.

Flowers II
Flowers are among the most frequently depicted subjects in the history of painting. Flowers have inspired artists of all ages and cultures. From Kahlo, Rivera, Picasso, O'Keeffe, Murakami, Renoir, Matisse, and Twombly to Warhol, Van Gogh, Koons, Manet, Mondrian, Klimt, Monet, and Katz, everyone has used them in their prolific work.

Frequencies
It is another hinge series, along with the Still-life, Transition, and Beyond Transition series, all done in 2019. Frequencies is pure effort: going back to the study room and working on something without a clue, a process very similar to writer's block. It is not about learning or being inspired, but doing and unblocking yourself to find a new path. And lucky enough to create something nice, of value, and that opens other doors.
