A new group of works on canvas from the series Organic Pictures (2016-ongoing). Created with the lowest environmental impact possible, using only spontaneous vegetation picked from around the artist's studio and harnessed renewable energy for the printing process. Except for composition, the other estetica elements of the works are determined by natural substances, season of picking, geographic and climatic conditions.

Mirror Leaves is a series of works made with natural elements foraged in little anthropized places like woods, montains and in non-commercial crops, covered (partially or totally) with thin layers of natural materials from different origin, such as metal leafs, shellac and resins. In this way the sculptures are created imitating symbiosis between different natural elements, are these contaminations to define the final aspect of the works.
Tridimensional works are sometimes exhibited in a photographic limbo made with a drawing paper on a FSC wood shelf, bidimensional works are exhibited hanging to the wall lean over two brass head nails.

A group of small tridimensional works that occupy the space with easy geometric volumes. Sculptures are made with a combination of boiled paper and an assortment of leaves and other vegetal materials previously used for the production of ecoprints works. The result was modeled using a plastic crate originally intended for vegetables that impressed, on several faces of the works, a geometric gridded pattern.
