"Everything has a meaning, you just have to know what language to use to communicate it. In my work the matter seems to transmute, and in that process it is distracted, a gestural language results in some forms that I intervene with symbolism, in other cases I create a Realism magical with approaches to shamanism and mythology, but also from my own dream world.

Between pre-Hispanic sculpture and reading Carlos Castañeda I find common ideas and magical forms. Deconstruction is a constant, confusing architectures coexist with landscapes and living beings in an environment where warp is the means of coexistence, that is, there are no scales or rigorous perspective, light comes from anywhere, each drawing is a world where “things” have been pushed to the edge and at any moment can fall into the abyss, that is perhaps why most of my compositions stand on water, remembering that in the beginning everything was chaos and the spirit floated on the waters, as Carl Sagan said: Contemplation of the cosmos moves us, it is like a tingling in the spine, an internal voice, a small sensation that comes from a distant memory falling from above.

Each drawing is a new world and persists in my memory to create the next one, I like to believe that in other parts of the universe someone or something is creating shapes that look like ours and surely they will think that somewhere far away those shapes are useful for something , perhaps even to draw them on a plane and ask yourself: What is it? Like this to infinity." - Omar Fernández
