"In the face is presented the entity par excellence" (Lévinas)

Based on the face as an expression of the human sense in Lévinas, the expressiveness of the face is centered as a pictorial object base, in the combination of the character / object, the fruidor and the self as center, a gestured soul between the bases and existential boundaries .

"It is like one and several mirrors, reflections where everything is combined."

The reflection of the object of composition in contrast to the socio-cultural perception, Aesthetics, in the Belo as a factor of existential reflection, conjugates and contrasts with the mirror and reflection of the fruidor (of who sees, observes), centralizing the Self as creator, mirror mirror and reflection reflex.

Quoting Dostoevsky "we are all guilty of everything and everyone before all, and I more than others."

I will always be responsible in what the Work says, in the result of the artistic object, fruit of my creation and Aesthetic perception.

It is from the reflection, as images of mirrors that my Works result. Taking these as an existential result of my social and cultural formation.

I am the fruit of what surrounds me and of those around me and I express myself thus, where the Soul of my creation is the final result of myself in limiting the self.
