 “Since I was a kid I have been very curious about weird still life paintings.
To me it was like crime scenes where I had to find out the story behind those compositions. 

While most still lifes are just studies of light and color there are some special ones that particularly caught my attention and that are very present in my recent work: Vanitas, a genre mainly developed in the Baroque that highlight the transience of life, the firmness of death and how we deal with what’s in between.
The visual tension of these compositions intrigued me: the skulls, the jewels, the rotten fruits, the lobsters hanging, the fragile balance of the candles and hourglasses reminding us our limited time in life… 

I like the challenge and contrast of turning the hidden symbology of these dark elements into a colorful composition with sexy shapes while keeping that balance somehow. 
I also find attractive the idea of extrapolating this concept to our days from a positive perspective, in order to act or think in conscience: being aware of our limited time in life, understand the ephemerality and banality of material pleasures, react to the vanity that surrounds our society.”

Thanks for watching!
