About
| Statement |
I posit that humor is not merely a tool but an essential catalyst for profound societal transformation, an evolutionary response to deal with the complex. My artistic praxis is devoted to unmasking the inherent absurdities that pervade the human condition, articulated through a series of two dimensional and sculptural tableaux that serve as an autobiographical exegesis on quotidian life. Humor, in this context, becomes a dialectical bridge between the mundane and the metaphysical, enabling us to grapple with the existential complexities of our reality with both levity and intellectual rigor. By synthesizing art and science, I endeavor to cultivate an arena where laughter and profound reflection harmoniously coexist, thereby galvanizing visions of an enlightened and contemplative future.

The goal of his practice is to show the absurd through a sequence of scenarios based on observations of everyday life, an autobiographical commentary on everything human.
