What was the inspiration behind your artwork?

My inspiration came during the process. I spend a lot of time looking at the big white square and nothing passed my mind, but since I was going against the clock I decided to just let go. I started experimenting with a hair dryer and cold and hot colors, making it stain after stain. At the end, I wasn’t satisfied with the result. Two years later I looked at the painting again and started thinking, I said to myself “This piece needs life”, and so, a life I gave it. Today, that piece is the inspiration for all my new creations.

What do you see as the similarity between science and art? Why is science-art important in today's society?

One of the most important similarities between art and science is creativity so much for making a scientific advance and an artistic expression. The truth is that one inspires the other so when they are used together they create amazing masterpieces.
