Original artwork is oil on paper. The collage version is a digital print on an old deconstructed envelope.
This piece represents "fears, nightmares or phobias” that we have been dragging during all our lives, either from self-fabricated fantasies or coming from traumatic real experiences.

I used to watch a lot of scary and horror movies when I was a kid and I ended up developing panicky thoughts about monsters, aliens and evil robots crowling into my bed. The Twilight Zone and X Files were the most frightening! My fears today aren't about those creepy creatures anymore, but modern little life concerns and anxious thoughts have morphed into monster's form.

Historical fact, 1930-40's European art was connected to a moment in history when traditional politics were failing in horrifying ways. It began the art of psychological monstruous dream worlds and paintings, made in response to the several Wars, with the Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. It was an ugly time but explosive art pieces were made in order to reflect "human fears" from artists as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, André Masson.
