STATEMENT
My visual research deals with the themes of waiting and silence, using traditional graphic techniques. The matrix becomes a musical score, a page crowded with graphs that mark the rhythm of a speech that produces no sound. The resulting image in the printing phase is a pretext to tell this paradoxical concert that is dispersed in a timeless time.
