His work, how could it be otherwise, is strongly influenced by his training as an architect, profession set aside for immersing yourself in a work process that it defines, as a "detective work" constantly investigating different artistic disciplines.

The image shown is part of his series "Invisible Cities" based on the novel of the same name by writer Italo Calvino, this pen on black and white lacquer on canvas large format, where the artist shows a series of figures and overlapping bonded forming what could be a city without limits and expanding.
