The works of the series presented in Naples Seducción reflect on seduction, which is one of the great pillars of modern society. "The approach through the painting, which is a great seductress, but converge, in my case, the comparison of the saturation of the material (pigment and plastic qualities) converges with a vacuum where there is also a visual discourse. The painted areas of the media are divided into blocks of color that can reach levels as a destabilizing dynamic visual, but also alluding to the imbalance of the contemporary social system that is seduced and anesthetized before his own fracture. The system continues to operate, but only by inertia, in a vacuum, without constraint or sense (Lipovetsky).
And the body as an object, is thus used to distract and motivate the consumer society. A body without identity, without a face, that passes fleetingly as a cliché, an element of provocation, to follow the frantic consumer without necessity, only because yes, for addiction. Seduced by following the path that leads us nowhere, so hedonistic that does  not allow us to reflect, that sells illusory worlds, political speeches that seem to solve problems, media  showing fantasies as real possibilities, but all backed by nothing.
