His work is articulated through different media that include sculpture, video, sound, performance and installation. The «project» is the shadow of his experience exactly how existence is a possibility of relationships that man can determine, is transcend, throw-forward himself. So the processing of an artistic project represents for him a way of being-in-the-world. In his own work, he defines himself as researcher even before an artist, re-creating a space where self awareness and symbol interact alchemically with the spectator.
