"I think that the most important thing in this planet is the human being, filled with feelings, emotions, qualities and defects, weaknesses and strengths, love and indifference. To me, it is a wonderful challenge to be able to capture any of those moments in a person. Every time someone poses for me, I find myself in front of a unique and unrepeatable being that has different ways of seeing the world and relating with it. I find it fascinating to go deep into each person in order to be able to express their feelings since every time I do it, I always find something beautiful. My goal is not only to achieve a resemblance, but also to show the essence of a character. I am grateful to God for putting in my hands such a gift, for the people all around me who help me to relieve in Him and for the willingness in my heart to share Him" . Oil Portrait. |
