"The analysis of my work is based on a history made of blood and embrace, whose foundations are in the climate, in the language and in the words which convey the feelings we share.
In some of my paintings women look at the light of the Mediterranean Sea head on, and in other works they let themselves be embraced by Aztecan symbols with the serenity and placidity that the union of different cultures provides them.
Machineries, dreams and clocks of incomplete hours which bring the hope of a timeless and transparent future, heads tattooed with the gods’ silence and hands that cling to the ancestors’ circle.
All that is immortalized on wood in order to create a group of sounds and skins, with similar textures, in which the light works as a human, indestructible and latent particle.
In the end, nothing is what it appears, hopes and dreams are made of distrustful substances; keys, don’t forget, are used to open doors, but they may also be used to lock the flight of birds towards South"--Esperanza Gonzalez
