Charcoal  & Graphite Drawings 

(hyperrealism . memory . territory)

I draw the memories that stay beneath the surface.

Hyperrealism is a way to retain

what time dilutes.

This way I'm certain that the image will be always faithful to its origin.

Charcoal connects me to my soil reminding me where i come from,

the earth, raw, tangible and mesmerizing

and so my hands begin to speak.
