Abstract expressionist technique and style

It is an abstract and vigorous painting, of great density and very intense from a chromatic point of view. The pigment, wildly applied in thick layers of paint with a concentration aimed exclusively at the creative act without predetermining its result.
The technique combines the movement of the body with the viscous flow of paint, the force of gravity and the canvas. movements around the canvas like a dance until seeing and understanding that the work is finished. The surface of the painting is an open field without limits.
Throwing, splashing, pouring and dripping onto the canvas; mastery of color and light. Each painting reflects a feeling.
