Artwork Statement

Industries, factories, small businesses, have been hit by the Covid-19, hundreds, thousands in bankruptcy. I try to establish a relationship between these spaces that have been disappearing in time and those that, thanks to utopia, have been growing. I appeal above all to visual memory, it is where a gap is opened between reality and fiction, attracted by the idea of seeing the experimental changes of nature in isolated and abandoned places. I have begun to paint the landscape from the intimate place that expands us and offers us the best of perspectives, it is remembered and when remembering the moment is evoked, creating a landscape where the ideal stands out and merges with reality, the annihilated structures due to the Coronavirus and abandonment they assume a total resignification - in the manner of "a new landscape".
