When painting my works I might also use special materials, such as the "old-fashioned canvas"; this being a kind of linen or hemp cloth only available from some local old ladies. This special canvas enables me to better highlight the brilliance and chromatism of colors I use. They are basically acrylic or oil colors, to be applied by means of a spraygun or other spray-cans along with some other traditional materials such as brushes and palette-knives.

Geometry and forms, shapes, are mostly created by using several different tools which, although today have fallen into disuse, once properly modified and fitted with what needed, enable me to achieve the desired compositions. Cosmic space is the recurrent theme in my painting. It just fascinates me. I even dare then, imaging scenes, evolutions, which may only happen in the outstanding, astonishing and mysterious vastness, which I want to depict on canvas through a graphic intuition I like to define "geometrical abstract".

I might well say it's an innate style that allows me to paint Space as I intend it. Still on subject about cosmic space, my way of painting finds reason for inspiration in that other great mystery - the origin of mankind, also from the thought that in the infinite space, existence of other worlds and other civilizations is not unlike.
