The starting point of inspiration is the way, will inevitably approaching abstraction that gives some order to the bill that gives it its own identity "

Master Carlos Carreño for their part said: "His work shows that the easel painting is not dead ... are fabrics in which the shape, color and texture combine poetically, sometimes aggressively so, and in other harmonious but always challenging the viewer to explore these worlds to discover that only the paint through the metaphor of composition is able to offer. Light is another active component in its composition, it appears as core space trying to emphasize the strong abandon their naturalistic features easily identifiable on the alleged fact, to mutate into "biomorphic beings" own the imagery of possible worlds GARZÓN "
