In the Warriors series, he depicts figures who inhabit conflict, bodies that carry the heritage of combat as a sign of lucidity. They are not heroes, they are ritual presences: lucid animals between the sacred and the wild.

The Zoomorphic Icons series unfolds allegories as living totems, symbols where the instinctive merges with the sacred. Each animal figure is a ritual presence, fierce and lucid, channeling the ancestral force of origin. The intention is to invoke wild archetypes imbued with spiritual power. The aesthetic is direct, corporeal. In them, the animal is a mirror of man within himself.

In Still Lifes, Landscape and Nature, the artist transfers his instinctive pulse to the natural environment and landscape elements as a primeval force. Each object is a latent symbol, a silent totem, creating contained energy. Nature is a living body.

The series The Boxers embodies an aesthetic of instinct, where combat becomes ritual and existential affirmation. Boxing, as a sport, ritualizes violence by imposing rules. Each figure embodies the tension between violence and lucidity, making the punch a sacred form of presence. Painting becomes a totem: it unites the wild with the mythical, the physical with the symbolic. The bodies, tense and radiating strength, do not narrate but impact. Boxing is invoked as a brutal dance of the soul.

In the series People in my life, the gesture opens to the contemplation and portrait of those who have crossed the artist's life. It is, perhaps, the only series in which he abstracts himself from his conceptual battle to reveal his most personal dimension.

In Mythology and Research, shamans, sorcerers, and mythical creatures are summoned as totems of primitive wisdom and instinctive force. These figures are living presences that inhabit the edge between the real and the sacred. Through them, the artist explores the hidden as a territory of power, where ritual violence and lucidity intertwine. The mythical is a radical form of knowledge, invoking the ancestors.
