In my work I like to bring life to objects or icons from the past, intervening in them a bit, using my own ideals and dreams. NEOn-Classics is a series of serigraphs of Greco-Roman characters printed on wood, with added neon lights. I was inspired by the neoclassical period, which highlights beauty with very simple elements containing few lines, and I selected Greek gods such as Poseidon, Venus, Apollo, and Aphrodite as my characters. These mythological characters play an essential role in both art history and our beliefs and emotions, as they represent our deepest human experiences. The figures in this work are accompanied by either words or objects in neon lights, which to me represent the relationship between darkness and light. Although they are lights, in our collective imagination we associate them with nocturnal scenes and they therefore endow these pieces with surreal and romantic interpretive elements. The words I have selected seek to evoke sets of emotions, moods, or internal humors that make it possible to appreciate the work, which in turn creates a more intimate bond with the characters in it.
