Draw predominates in my work, but also I do it in differents supports according to the mesage I want to convey. I work with the human figure and his surface, so I make body draws and they are planned to be tattooed acording to the form of the body thats why I plan the ressult in differents supports. Skin sometimes reflects our personality and is a way of identification and classification, we can modify it because nobody has chosen his body. The position of tattoo in society is not well defined, as same as art. I work with the contrast of the science language and images from the personal imagery. ‘Science turns everything into a case, namely, it converts anything in common with other many things. This is called abstraction, the life discovered by the science is an abstract life, while vital thing is the concrete thing, the incomparable thing, the only thing, the life is the individual thing.’ Ortega y Gasset.
Broken bones The project is composed by two series that complement each other. The first one, Broken Boards, boards of a few skateboards have been drawn with felt-tip pens. The second one, Rigid bodies, is composed by seven clapboards with the same format where the realized drawings have been printed. In both series it predominates over an aesthetics very similar to tattoos and they follow the same composition of the tattoo desings. Also, both series represent the body, his forms, organs and bones. A peculiar anatomy atlas is the result of this proyect.

Hand atlas The project Hand Atlas resorts to flashes (samples of tattoo desings) to make an artistic object. Four wood cylinders compose this serie, in each cylinder is illustrated one hand, two views in each cylinder. The drawings represent the movements and layers of a few peculiar hands. It predominates over the line, which shows courts and round limits, coming closer the reality of a faithful way and, at the same time, abstract. The cylinders are an abstraction of the extremities of the human body. In them it predominates over the seam, a different type of line, which has, in contrast with the lines of the drawing, an alive character.
