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.

Oil paints handcrafted exclusively with natural substances of which I follow the transformation from raw material into pigment and the subsequent creation of the oil color. The tubes are shared with artists interested in experimenting with raw colors. Only tube number 00 of each batch of color produced is a work of art.

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.
