My first work is full of emotion, that emotion that let my vision of beauty exist. With the intention to bring tension through my characters’ abstraction and fragility. I ask my models to give me their real essence, with their sight to transmit the emotion of my characters, revealing insinuations and identities from my memories and subconscious.
