Palabras Perdidas, 2010 60' X 48'
When the imaginative process is activated in a creative endeavor, the possibility of genuine transcendence emerges at a subconscious level. I express myself within imagery and sensitivity of colors and emotions. My art varies from symbols to the evolution of scribbles, letters, and thoughts, covering most of them by layers and subtractions of raw pigments and acrylics. Combining the disciplined thinking of the medical world with the expression of art, I have advanced to the abstract freedom of the mind and soul.
