Rigorous cartoonist and archivist of anecdotes and news that he hears and treasures. Through the narratives he constructs and by making public the intimacy of the other, he manages to transgressively question the status quo with his amusing drawings full of humor and satire. As Humberto Junca describes it, as a drawer of spoken portraits, he transforms oral narration into drawing. And he presents us with what could not be documented because it only exists in memory. His absurdities show the scandalous, the strange, the tragic, the humorous, sustained in the subjective, in what is pure illustration. His drawings made with such discipline and care question the veracity of any document or the very ethics of the journalist or historian who writes. Not afraid to point out social issues, he investigates the ways of representation and construction of cultural archetypes and their impact on society and the human psyche.
