I like to cut. Stenciling is a technique that allows me to reproduce my images as many times as I want in different sizes and very quickly. It is also a very simple technique that is available to anyone, which makes it a technique of action, of wanting to do, of carrying out an idea.

I like to do something appropriate to the space and for that it is necessary to take measures and generate a spreadsheet that adapts to the place, that takes time. In the process of the cuts I found a kind of therapy, of meditation, like a mantra - something repetitive that at the same time is new - that fascinated me and that I cannot stop doing.
