"I distinguish a stimulating recurrence at the moment of approaching creation, the enormous attraction that the dialogue between the plastic and the performative areas generate in me. It is from the contact with a texture, a color or a materiality that a body with specific requirements arises, creating in this way a temporal pace, a spatial profoundness and a poetic universe on its own.
To create is to be able to touch the materiality which I am working with and give that to the spectator. The piece is unveiled when the materiality is finally touched as it needs to be."
