For us, art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing
to take the risk
Mark Rothko
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks that a good idea would
be to give them

Esta escultura alude al tema de los agujeros negros, lo que en mi obra llamo trombas cósmicas o remolinos cósmicos, es conocido como el efecto que los científicos dicen tener los agujeros negros en el cosmos, son como gigantescos túneles succionadores de galaxias, estrellas y por lo tanto de luz, de allí que en mi escultura las he comparado con las trombas marinas, las cuales son alargadas y se extienden en serpenteantes curvas a grandes distancias de la superficie a la atmósfera. En mi escultura se aprecian cuatro espigas de aluminio que aluden a las trombas, y que sobresalen de la base plana y se incrustan en el primer cono ovalado, luego continuarán ascendiendo solamente dos trombas que atravesarán el segundo cono oval más pequeño. Dentro de cada cono ovalado hay texturas hechas con gubia rayando sobre la superficie interna del aluminio, así creo un efecto de absorción o arremolinamiento muy interesante.

This sculpture alludes to the theme of black holes, what in my work I call cosmic waterspouts or cosmic swirls, is known as the effect that scientists say they have the black hole in the cosmos, are how gigantic sucking tunnels of galaxies, stars and therefore light, there where my sculpture I have compared them with waterspouts which are elongated and extend in serpentine curves at great distances from the surface to the atmosphere. In my sculpture can be seen four pins that allude to the waterspouts, and aluminum that jut from a flat base and are embedded in the first oval Cone, then continue to climb only two waterspouts that will pass through the second smallest oval cone. Within each oval cone there are textures made with gouge marks on the inner surface of the aluminum, so believe absorption or dispersion very interesting effect.
