Statement: I consider myself a full-time visual consumer. I have explored various artistic languages, recognizing myself in sculpture, in engraving and mainly in photography. In it, I restructure a new plan and become an architect with faces. I assemble photographs to find another truth.

The common thread of my work is the construction of portraits and own identities. Each individual in his constant evolution led me to think about the fragility, structure and meaning of the body, as skin, as meat, as a deformable and modifiable figure. Photography is an illusion, a fictitious reality.
