STRATES - latin stratum, means layers. A poetic metafor indicating the nature of my creative process. I don’t fear time, the multiple treatments, the resistance of each material. My work is a dialog between void and density. Raw brutality and extreme delicacy coexist in my pieces as equals. Mastering the movement used as a tool to express unity and balance between all elements. I avoids any kind of hierarchy among beauty and ugliness. I stalk like a hunter the life of each situation and tries to let it free. My works are there for people to explore themselves. There is always something big to share, i try to reveal it and make averybody’s way to it a pleasant no return adventure. Are we experienced or still in the process? My goal is to make you love the process. A silent hope of unity using the ways of this wonderful art called dance.
