I named this painting Kairós, like the youngest son of Zeus, the heir of time, because it captures the meaning of this moment in my life.
In the composition of the painting, I combine four images that I consider part of my essence: a Spartan warrior, who identifies me through the countless and intense struggles of my life; a Phoenix, a symbol of my own cycles of "death and rebirth"; the moon, witness to my own reinvention; and the cosmos, the unfathomable infinity that represents my soul.

Kairós is the architect of the opportune moment, of the experience of the here and now. According to the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, it is "a unique and unrepeatable moment-place that is not present but always about to arrive and always already past, that hovers above us."
For the Spaniard Alejandro Corletti Estrada, it is "the time of our transcendent moments, of the events that strongly mark the personal path of each of us, what some call destiny and that at certain moments made us make important decisions."
