Description of the Artwork “Innocence”
In that series, the artist; (who considers himself as stories generator) tries to tell about hidden stories with the minimum of resources. In this case, the resources are the faces/the portraits. The artist plays with referents from art history, recycling expressions from photos found in flea markets, old postcards or newspapers; and sometimes evidencing contradictions between what we read in media and what could happen in real life.
