story about butterflies-mixed drawing-dimensions variable
"My artistic approach can be defined as experimental and polymorphic. Arising from an intuitive-descriptive graphism, it flows through psychedelic colours and aims to achieve the metaphor-object. There are no material, technical or ideological constraints. Objects, colours, graphism, actions or performances are mixed into the continuous process of shaping up a personal mythology, into a quest for plastic solutions, the main iconographical object of which is the butterfly. The butterfly as transcendent evolution. The butterfly in all its symbolic and iconographical complexity.The transfer of the imaginary through different media occurs on a bidimensional to tridimensional trajectory in an attempt to sublime the individuality of the artistic fact, to essentialize and eventually transcend it into the collective consciousness."
