The work recreates a "prayer" inspired by the Alicante macro-schematic art that we can find on the walls of the sanctuary of Petracos (Alicante).

The figure is shown on different planes with Nature motifs and one of the layers of the body has a binary code pattern.

The shaman represents the human instinct to evolve, to improve, to dominate the environment to improve as a species.

On the one hand animals, on the other hand spiritual beings and at the same time technologists.

The tremendous technological advance that Agriculture brought about in Petracos times is similar to the current technological advances that present us with radical changes in our way of life.

I'm an expressionist abstract painter. I make lyrical paintings, based on color, texture and energy. I try to connect with the most ancient part of my brain, the least educated area.

I develop my work in 2 phases, the first one is the most intuitive part of the work, I create interest without thinking a lot, without judge anything and giving to myself opportunities to create interest. In the second phase, I work in a more logical way, working the composition, values and details.I work with acrylics, alcohol inks and spray painting mainly.
