What does art mean to you? If you were to summarize in a few words the meaning of Arts in your life…

In "Life the artist seeks, has and is in art, the soul, the answer, the technique and excellence ".

What techniques do you use to express their ideas, feelings and perception about the world? (Whether it is through painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, photography… or uses several techniques in order to make a mix of different art forms).

I produce drawings, screens and sculptures; also, today works towards recycling; My wife is an architect, therefore always have materials available, that arise on a daily basis and await their turn to be used, because it will be part of any work in any event.

I consider this very important issue, not only in the area of construction, but also in all sectors of recycling, mainly in the area of information technology, where the old plates and overcome are usually not reused definitely and millions go to the trash. Obviously, nature thanks if we can give a purpose, even when your order is the art, a noble destiny for the eyes; some thus consider, but others unfortunately do not see.

The art is in all aspects of these problems, just decipher with other eyes; can be a nice theme, a war, a controversial subject, a good event of everyday life, anyway, everything is cause to dedicate his soul artist in the creation.

"For each work, a unique situation, Here comes the theme and within a same techniques can arise, materials and different styles, It's as if each work to be performed in such a way, as if it had a life of its own, where it's up to him as an artist unravel what and how the work wants to be materialized ".
