My work is characterized by appropriating nature, so that through it transparency and movement take spaces from the natural and urban landscape. With sculpture, painting and installations; they allow me this connection. The movement that is generated in the environment, I manage to find my affinity with Op Art and Kinetic Art, to present it in a series of codes of approach to the new landscape: they are spheres, the drizzle, the nest, sun needles, rings and interventions urban, which are always in communion with my creative visual. The objective is for the viewer to interact with my work "Nature" and thus, in this way, the sculpture is a form that represents the force of the sun, the moon, the wind, the drizzle. To create a work full of freedom in its meeting space, internal or external and thus give the impression of the movement that is generated in nature itself.
