WorkJohn's work reaffirms that personal search has collective repercussions, finding in art the paths of innovation, aesthetics, experimentation or grandeur that arises from this insatiable hunger that is the artistic search for the right medium for the right work. . For John, art is not an end in itself but a means of self-exploration that goes beyond materiality, they are processes and records that involve the viewer in a more intimate relationship with his work.
