Mi obra habita en los m\u00e1rgenes de la historia personal y mundial. Mi arte y mi vida han entrado a menudo en conflicto con las formas convencionales de pensar. Las metamorfosis disonantes de mis distintos papeles \u2014como integrante del orden social existente, ciudadano local, sujeto adoctrinado, migrante, soldado, artista, activista, prisionero, persona en libertad condicional, etc.\u2014 han aportado el vocabulario mental de mi discurso ilustrado. La s\u00e1tira visual presente en parte de mi obra est\u00e1 impregnada de percepciones absurdas de mi realidad y del mundo que me rodea. Muchos de los personajes, situaciones y acontecimientos de mi obra provienen de im\u00e1genes hist\u00f3ricas que transformo en visiones aleg\u00f3ricas.<\/p>
