“Ephemeral” Is the name of the series, in a figurative style, that I began to paint in 2018.

I began the series inspired by the beauty of Greek ceramics, which have stories painted about their mythology and daily life.

I appropriate them, and I transformed their shape; some in glazed volumes with a real and light appearance; and others keeping the shape of the ceramic.

The story that I tell in my glass spheres arises from an experience I had when I saw a Betta Fish enclosed in a small container, I saw that for him it was “his world” thus reduced but it was all that he counted on.

Moved by this experience I felt I identified, as a living being, with him and that my only universe is the planet on which I live, as well as for all the living beings that inhabit it.

Rabindranath Tagore, in one of his poems, said, "Do not behave badly with your world, do not predispose it against you" This phrase summarizes the message of my work.

 Just as the artists of antiquity painted the history of their time, I reflect in my painting the moment in which we live, a planet very deteriorated by pollution and climate change that is affecting our survival.

To explain my thought pictorially, I use some symbolic elements, such as glass, cloth, and dry leaves that represent the ephemeral and fragile state of existence.

The refined technique of acrylic on canvas has helped me to create smooth and transparent surfaces and the use of varied and intense colors gives expressive force to my work.
