I use representation of ordinary elements as symbols, chosen from a psychological context thus causing a sense of tension, intrigue and dialogue among them. When staging still life my preference is to use objects arraigned as if in altars or theatre, distorting or placing elements in unexpected areas, to set a juxta- position statement of my own perceptions and experiences. In intending to transfer the sensations left from my dreams or meditations, I maximize the use of personal painting methods of the classical oil on linen traditional techniques. I create my own mixture of Flemish, Renascence and French methods, using layers of glazing wet and dry over impastos, giving a special treatment to the textures of the objects, lights and shadows, by which the paintings will achieve their three dimensional quality. I am doing this in order to create a contradiction between what is real and what's not. With this thematic concept but avoiding  the "Trompe L'oeil", I carry a premeditated intention as to induce the viewer into a deeper sense of reflection, a meta-language, a non verbal form of awareness, a passive, contemplative silent state of presence, in which reality is used to create unreal or improbable scenarios.
