Artistic production is an activity of constant work and research, organization and networking. Working as an artist requires a constant effort to keep up with the times and, especially, to listen to the inner voice that leads the way. Intensive internal energy management is often needed which is frequently incompatible with modern day life.
Therefore, I am deeply grateful to all those involved (entities and individuals) in supporting these activities, either through patronage or simply supporting culture and the arts. A country without arts and culture is a country without a soul.
Individual Exhibitions
Individual exhibitions are the ultimate artistic responsibility. It is the moment in which the spotlight is directed to the message that is intended to be transmitted. It was with great joy that I was able to express freely and share the results with the public.

Collective Exhibitions
Entering in collective exhibitions derives from varied and different situations: either it originates in the selection of works in a competitive environment, the invitation from institutions that promote cultural and artistic events, or even from the free initiative of artists who propose to exhibit themselves in cultural spaces. The following list contains a little bit of everything. Thank you for the kindness of all those who contributed so that I could have my art exposed.
