As we all know, alchemy is used in many ways. Alchemy as a philosophical discipline lies in the power to create more subtle ways of appreciating any situation that we must overcome. The magnitude we have to transform ourselves is infinite. When we experience pain, chaos, heartbreak, disappointment, sadness, loss, and more, things like that always involve a challenge to our own feelings. Memories of succumbing to the spirit and ending up broken. The attitude of finding a way to generate more love from yourself, whispering gently to your heart, expanding through your emotional body, that force that is born so pure, will reveal what we are made of. Only a state of the purest love will bring you infinite peace. Everything is within you.

During my artistic journey I have been exposed to different and multiple styles, denoted by a symbolist and conceptual era, besides new currents generated from those contemporary and traditional structures. Through my work I attempt to transmit the interpretation of the spirit that habits within us. Through the lens of continuous ambiguity that diverse experiences can create, and with no one's view ever truly being identical, one can find themself in a magical space of alchemy. I propose a metaphorical interpretation generally through butterflies as a symbol of absolute transformation. I try to create a dimension where we can open doors with the true treasure of the universe.

My use of material is usually varied and diverse. From the traditional canvas, hard paper or wood support. Synthetic paint, oil, acrylic, pastels, in addition to including plaster or textile textures, depending on the work, are the means that connect me with that state of memory to materialize what I feel in spirit.
