Words of the artist:

With this exhibit I have tried to pay homage to that manner of facing life that has to do with stoicism and tolerance.

To show that, I have used the image of a mother with her child as a way of representing nature and her fruits, and I have tried to show her in every dimension, in light and darkness, in joy and suffering but always in a serene and forgiving manner, recognizing in pain and happiness the essence of human nature.

I have decided to remove all superficial color from the paintings so that the spectator can concentrate in what is essential in the works—I don't want anything to interrupt this kind of intimate dialogue that I want to establish with those who come close to the work.
