About this artwork
Red Flag No. 2 was born from a process of layering and subtraction. I built the surface through successive layers of color, allowing yellow ochre, black, and white to emerge uncontrollably beneath the final layer.
The crimson red, applied with soft, diluted vertical brushstrokes, does not completely cover what is underneath, but lets it emerge, creating an unstable, vibrant surface.
The central rectangle, initially defined in white, transforms… into a restrained presence: a “flag” that does not impose itself, but resists and integrates into the pictorial field.
In this work I seek a balance between control and loss of control, between structure and matter, where color becomes space and tension.

I'm a self-taught painter, and what sets me apart is my free and instinctive use of color, which in my work is layered to create dense textures and crowded urban landscapes. I began with more spontaneous and light-hearted works, then evolved towards a more conscious and critical approach. At the same time, I explore abstraction with works inspired by Pollock and Rothko. My Cities are born from abstract foundations. The City as a complex organism that reflects the contradictions of our time. My series explore three great fragilities: the vulnerability of cities to climate change, the wounds inflicted by man through wars and manipulated ideologies, and the inequalities between glittering centers and forgotten peripheries. I paint universal, non-geographic cities as a metaphor for the human condition: places that bear the hopes, scars, and tensions of our time.
