ARTIST STATEMENT
Everything our artwork is a poetic gesture in fullness expansion inside the way of conscious dreams and creative reveries, a blurred trace of images reflecting our existence in the immanence of the world. Even so, with them we wish to capture a single instant of empathy: always intangible, ephemeral, changeable and eternal.
