title
Still Life
My work is very inspired by ancien painting and in particular the way light and shadows are used giving the image a timeless touch. In these chiaroscuros, time seems suspended between classical art and contemporary art.
I pay attention to detail, I like to emphasize certain colors such as reds, greens and blues which complement and harmonize with each other. On the other hand, I like to recreate compositions of very simple and basic shapes where I want to express precisely the beauty in this simplicity. I am used to adding touches of nature in my work, inspired by my Caribbean roots where the vegetation is exuberant and the colors are saturated and illuminated.
I try to witness a poetic expression in each of my images, producing an aesthetic effect.
