“The energy flow from the Universe shapes our human behavior,this
is a constant dynamic stream of forces flowing to an incredible power. My aim is to reveal these elements throughout my work,with symbolic interpretations expressing this architecture of the space with lines/curves and color shapes, and thus the interpretation is the basis of the physical and metaphysical human cycles, the sub consciousness of life towards the Universe. I define this as Architecture of the Universe�
