I understand art as a form of (re)cognition of life.
The works that move me are those that open new ways of thinking and feeling — works that expand my consciousness beyond the limits of what I already know.
For me, art — like books — is nourishment for existence. It holds up a mirror to the world and to human nature, reflecting them in more or less distorted forms, so that these images provoke thought, spark questions, and offer learning to those who witness them.
Just as we come to know ourselves through the presence of the Other, we see our own weaknesses, strengths, obstacles, and possibilities through the stories that art reveals.
Good art is, therefore, the union of vision and form: a way of seeing the world presented through a singular aesthetic language.
That is why I am drawn to works that communicate something essential; that offer a gift to the audience, enriching the life of those who receive it.
I seek characters whose contradictions expose the fragile balance between strength and vulnerability — souls caught between longing and renunciation, whose imperfections reveal something deeply human and universal.
Their failures, virtues, and silences are what most captivate me. This is why I am so fascinated by characters who suffer — characters who struggle with moral dilemmas, face impossible choices, and reveal their vulnerabilities without fear.
They are tragic in the most beautiful sense: imperfect beings who expose the fragility of the human condition and, by doing so, illuminate paths for us all.
