Memento Mori
Between living and remembering, art finds its purpose.
This series is an exploration of the fleeting nature of life and the beauty of the ephemeral. Inspired by the artistic traditions of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, I aim for my paintings to not only be observed but also reflected upon, inviting the viewer into a dialogue with time, mortality, and the legacy of humanity.
My work is not merely a reflection of my technique but also of my admiration for painting as a medium of universal connection. I aspire for each piece to convey a balance between the tangible and the transcendental, paying homage to classical tradition while engaging with contemporary sensibilities.
I invite you to immerse yourself in my vision of art, where each brushstroke is a meditation on life, death, and the beauty that resides in the interval between them.
Fragments of Gold
A skull and jawbone rest on a stack of worn books, gilded leaves scattered across red velvet — gold as what outlasts the body, and what doesn't.
El Silencio del Tiempo
A lit candle inside a cracked glass lantern watches over a skull and a pair of brushes on red velvet — the studio itself folded into the still life.
Echoes of Mortality
The largest piece in the series — a skull crowned in dried leaves between two candles, an old horseshoe and a stack of books, staged across weathered wood and velvet.
Between living and remembering, art finds its purpose.
My work emerges from the constant exploration of two opposing yet complementary forces: memento vivere, the celebration of life in its intensity and transience; and memento mori, the reflection on mortality that invites us to cherish every moment.
