His aim is to build meaningful and simple structures by creating dialogues between the material elements that surround him, including waste and the remains of other events.
To this end, he uses elementary strategies such as juxtaposition, collage and assemblage. Wood, paint and paper form the main basis of his work. His procedure has a decidedly experimental and manual character. All of this allows him to propose the possibility of metaphorically relating any register with others, however heterogeneous they may be: memories, figures, materials, traces, feelings, colours, concepts, remains, discourses, scales and almost any other, thus rescuing their mythopoetic possibilities.
It thus shares poetics with cubisms, constructivisms and póveras, and finds particular similarity with the attitude of the bricoleur mentioned by Lévi-Strauss because, like the former, it aims to elaborate objects as concrete responses to the need provoked by reflection on an uncertain, heterogeneous and fragmentary reality such as the one we find in an urban, complex and contemporary world.
