I discovered that with my welding machine I could create something new, not only paint or draw, but I could do it in three dimensions, and best of all, I could reuse those pieces that I saw as a child with so much wonder!
All my works, increasingly, try to catch an essential beauty. To achieve a sensation of movement to es- cape the rigidity of the materials that compose it. Today I am in the process of learning. Discovering new materials and welding techniques. Finding new ways to give life and functionality to pieces that for others are lost.

I was about 8 years old when I accompanied my father to work in the fields. I loved to discover abandoned corners, full of junk and artifacts that had not been used for a long time, which I looked amazed and surprised, seeing that such a thing, so beautiful to me, had no use. Just being able to admire it made it valuable to me.
Another early memory I have is when I visited one of my uncles who worked in electronic repair. He disposed of many complex com- ponents that I was able to take apart, piece by piece, as if it were a puzzle. Each piece had beauty in itself and I often kept these compo- nents as if they had an artistic destiny already planned
Over the years my interests and curiosity became broader and more voracious. When i found interest in something I found myself learning all aspects of it, almost becoming devoured by it.
So I went through several stages throughout my life: drawing, painting, woodwork, mecha- nical work, metals, and restoration of objects. Until at some point I learned to weld.... Despite having an eternal artistic interest in all its facets, my professional career veered into another direction, a Public Accountant. I stu- died and finished my career but never leaving aside my deep interests and passions.
After a few years of pursuing my profession, along with having gone through several artistic stages and personal experiences that served as a base, I moved forward with my passion and taught myself how to weld with my new wel- der ready to produce the objects in my mind.
I began to reuse and weld metal remains that had been in workshop for years.
