The artist made this performance on the street, where a beggar lay. The action was to take off his pants and give it to that character, but with the intention of being at the ankles to hinder their walking, turning the subject into a manipulable object conditioned to obey for the gift. Comment about altruism, when an action disguised as good intentions, but actually serves a particular internes.

Year
This piece is divided into two parts, the first, The Harvest, are the hands of the artist tirelessly collecting bones of a field of roses. In the next shot, La Siembra, the hands of the artist placed the thorns on the body of a model. A beautiful commentary on the fragility, an action that reveals a subtle danger, fear and above all a metaphor for defense.

This piece is the artist's face reflected in a mirror. With your hand, gradually covering the glass with green paint, like a spontaneous camouflage immediately leads us to war. This is a work that aims to reflect on the feelings aroused by the war. A brief but convincing experiment.
