"I want my art to have some inner strength and to make me reflect. That it should bring hope, being a metaphor of human
fate, in which both suffering, rebirth and solace are inscribed. I wonder how to speak through my art. How to give answers to the tragic questions of a man who may have lost the meaning of his existence
In the face of the terrifying golgotha of man".
