"It came as an experiment. A try at once the medium. I took something old and used the same recurrent theme of my country. Finding an image of a young boy in the nineties that saw the ugly side of life. I took my start using collage and texture brought together in the use of oil in color. I created a story, adjoining Vivaldi and symbolism I managed to form an idea of what could go on behind the face in the picture, and what his struggles would amount to."
