WHY MOSAICS?

Because I am fascinated with china.  As a kid I used to go treasure hunting to the dumps where people threw away garbage; so I started to make sculptures with found objects among which I included pieces of broken china.  Soon the china took over and I found myself making mosaics.

Unlike most, I love breaking china when I am happy.

Mainly influenced by Latin American art, I have Universal influence, but try not to look like anybody.

Although I love painting and sculpting, I appreciate mosaics because of the shine it brings to my life, because of the possibility of for the first time being naive, and for being able to fix what I broke.

My dream: that everytime a plate falls they think of me; not because an angel will get a wing, but because a man will get an eye, the sky a moon or the ocean a fish.

I know this beautiful blue planet where we live will one day be a dump where we won't be able to live anymore: so much carbon dioxide in the air, so much waste.  It's up to us to save it by using our imagination.

Mosaic is resourceful and recycling.
