The lost paradise

Comenzando con 'Saudades do Brasil', un anhelo por la naturaleza virgen como la he conocido en África y Brasil. ¡Tanto se ha perdido en estos continentes desde que viví allí en los años sesenta y setenta!

Starting with 'Saudades do Brasil', a longing for unspoiled nature as I have known it in Africa and Brasil. So much has gone lost in these continenents since I lived there in the sixties and seventies!

Artemisa, la diosa de la caza, reina sobre una selva suprema en la que tigres, serpientes y pájaros desconocen su propia espléndida existencia. La abstracción humana se proyecta aquí sobre la realidad de la naturaleza. Las referencias al paraíso perdido corren paralelas a la problemática del medio ambiente con la tala de la selva y la desaparición del hábitat de los grandes felinos y otras especies animales. Pero ante todo, el artista confronta con este tema su nostalgia personal por la naturaleza de África y Brasil donde residió tantos años.

Artemis the goddess of the hunt reigns over a supreme jungle in which tigers, snakes and birds are unaware of their own splendid existence. Human abstraction is here projected over the reality of nature. References to the lost paradise run parallel to the problematics of the environment with the cutting of the rainforest and the disappearance of the habitat of  large cats and other animal species. But foremost the artist confronts with this theme his personal nostalgia for the nature of Africa and Brasil where he resided so many years.
