Momentos Vivos
A place where memory, imagination and the present moment gather around what resists explanation.
The present, passing
The ordinary deepens where attention lingers.
Some moments arrive without warning. They walk beside us in the street, travel in the silence of a train or enter when a door opens.
Most pass unnamed. A few leave a trace: a word, a color, the quiet suspicion that, for an instant, we were awake.

Silence carries part of every sentence.
My writing begins with images and questions that refuse easy answers. I return to memory, solitude, time and human contradiction because each contains more than one truth. I write toward lyrical precision, trusting what is withheld and allowing thought to travel through irony, doubt and moral consequence. Whatever form it takes, I want each work to remain close to lived reality while leaving room for mystery.
My poetry grows from philosophical lyricism, symbolic musicality and luminous precision. Images carry thought; symbol and cadence shape the emotional current; language is distilled until every word, pause and sound earns its place. I seek clarity without closing mystery. The final line closes the structure, not the experience.
My short stories are shaped by austere realism, atmospheric tension and charged silence. A seemingly ordinary event opens into a consequence larger than itself; material detail and dialogue reveal character, while omission keeps the deepest conflict beneath what is said. The ending may resist certainty, but the encounter must still reach its emotional consequence.
My longer prose moves through philosophical allegory, narrative cadence and moral inquiry. Thought is given room to travel and characters time to acquire history; motifs return altered, reflection moves beside narrative, and irony unsettles what appears certain. The form may widen or digress, but every movement must deepen the human question at the work’s center.

Momentos vivos,
inesperados y mudos.
Su inmediatez penetra
la insipidez de mi consciencia:
Creo que estoy despierto.
— Gonzalo De JesúsDigital painting
My painting begins with an image seeking its own visual language. I move between Impressionist light, surreal dream logic, fractured Cubist planes and expressive abstraction, allowing each work to determine its form. Wabi-Sabi guides my attention to imperfection, transience and negative space; Kintsugi enters only when fracture and repair belong to the image’s meaning. Symbols must belong, and texture and color must carry emotional weight. Whatever shape the image takes, I want it to remain grounded in human feeling while opening a passage into memory, imagination and mystery.
An Impressionist sequence · Three movements
An Impressionist response to Joaquín Rodrigo’s concerto: its three movements become broken light, painterly vibration and a visual passage from spirited energy through inward stillness to gentle release.

Writer · poet · digital artist
My work moves between lyrical precision and austere realism, between atmospheric light and fractured abstraction. In writing and painting alike, I use image, rhythm, texture, silence and negative space to explore memory, time, solitude and human contradiction—seeking clarity without closing mystery.
I am drawn to the point at which the familiar begins to shift: when an ordinary moment reveals another depth, when a fragment suggests a larger whole or when what remains unsaid acquires its own presence. Through layering, recurrence and restraint, I try to create work grounded in lived experience yet open enough for those who enjoy it to continue the encounter.
Momentos Vivos brings the literary and visual work together and serves as the editorial and publishing imprint for future books and digital editions.
