He always works from observation of what is closest to him; something that often leads him to analyse the spaces where he lives, his many houses. His artistic practice is research into what makes a home. Home understood in its most abstract dimension, not just as a physical space that one inhabits, but as a sensation of warmth, of belonging. The manner of addressing these nuances is diverse and evolves in each project, but they always share two common characteristics: a noticeable narrative and autobiographical element.
