///
The human is everything that unites us, regardless of race, the divisions come from the different ideas that we conceive about the human that permeates us, whether ideology, gender, cultural, political, social classes, etc..
In my work I mix different moments: historical, cultural, religious or philosophical.
In some of these pieces you can see different encounters within history, I work in the same way with this spiritual part, all this to try to broaden the vision of how we conceive the reality of the human where, from my point of view, I find a bias.
At this moment I am working with the clash of cultures where I continue reflecting and asking myself, what am I? am I really this?
Within some of these works I try to explain ideas sometimes difficult to understand about other visions and other points of view.
