About this artwork
This work addresses the baroque theme of the passage of time, through the representation of a skull that warns us of the transience of life and the banality of worldly pleasures.<br> This work is presented as a great field of pictorial experimentation, and is the result of a complex process of superimposition of layers of matter, which are often removed or dragged so that in the final work, the viewer can reconstruct part of that creative process…
through through the simultaneous viewing of the different layers. Showing themselves before us as if time had taken its toll on them.

« I am in love with painting, I place all of my energy and feelings into what I am doing because I strongly believe that matter ends up absorbing all of it. »
