About This Artwork

This series of work is about exposing mi internal cosmogony, unearthing its gods and demons , unmasking its actors and revealing their facets. Each piece is created through a long process of techniques involving brushed ink, transfer tint printing, feather work in ink and blood. The design process is a mix of willful imagery and a technique of free association that let the unconscious bring further meaning to the artwork.
The blood is a small personal sacrifice in order to give life to all those personages and far from its more sinister symbolism is taken as a bringer of life.
Each piece although being very personal is subject to free interpretation by the public who can transpose in it its own experiences and mirror part of his own self.


The series was complemented by an installation (Title: Though my blood) with dripping bags of blood that was slowly hiding the text that accompany the exhibition. The intention was to get the public to participate and physically have to push aside the blood in order to read the text, hence reaching the most intimate of me. An act of sacrifice from my part, and act of devotion from the public.
