Es la continuación al proyecto “Souvenir”, es el resultado de una reafirmación estética. Está puesto por 14 lienzos los cuáles reflejan diferentes recuerdos de una isla a la que he pertenecido y he debido dejar ir.

It is the continuation of the "Souvenir" project, the result of an aesthetic reaffirmation. It consists of 14 canvases, each reflecting different memories of an island I once belonged to and had to let go of. It is a reconciliation with words and the environment, but above all, it is an aesthetic exercise where I confront raw canvases, expanding the color palette, seeking volume in large masses of color, and turning to the most genuine form of graphic expression. Ultimately, small figures are integrated, interacting with each other and using the environment to guide the viewer and facilitate interpretation. "Souvenirs Paradise" is nothing more than allowing myself to be carried by the creative process, using the same mechanisms that plastically lead me to understand a painting. It is about grasping each memory, placing it in broad strokes of color—sometimes washed out, sometimes boldly thrown—breaking it down to find the rhythm and intensity of the memory that emerges, with graphics free from judgment. In the end, these memories are personified by a realistic figure resting upon the color, waiting to be seen so that someone might identify with it. Understanding memory as my creative process is essential so that these three artistic languages contribute to one another rather than collide. Treating the process as my ally, as well as the tool to explore and navigate my memories, is key.

Souvenirs Paradise no es otra cosa que dejarme llevar por el proceso creativo y utilizar los mismos mecanismos que plásticamente me llevan a entender una pintura. Comprender cada recuerdo, ubicarlo en grandes manchas de color, en ocasiones lavadas o arrojadas.
Desgranarlo para buscar el ritmo y la rotundidad del recuerdo que aflora, con grafismos< libres de ser juzgados. Finalmente personificados, con una figura realista que se posa en el color, esperando ser vista para que alguien pueda sentirse identificado.

Entender la memoria como mi proceso creativo es esencial para que definitivamente los tres lenguajes plásticos se aporten y no se atropellen. Tratar el proceso como mi aliado, además del arma para conocer y navegar por mis recuerdos.
