He is interested in deepening the permeability of the frontiers between stories, languages and techniques whilst sharing that exploratory path. Ren\u00e9\u2019s an artist that reflects in his own works, one\u2019s own experience of contemporary displacement and relocation between the various areas of post-colonial contact. In much of his works, its noticeable what the artist calls as \u201cl\u2019imagerie comun\u201d, a simple representation of an object or common form that is part of a pictorial space of pure abstraction and that allows the treatment of lines as a technique of drawing and painting, in which, various references appear out of context, mixed and ambiguous, such as a transposition of memory. Lately, his work has assumed a political\/cultural reality and through which the artist calls attention for the everyday reality, bringing memorable references of identity for a contemporary context. Impartially intervenes on the development of social and political mentality, not by means of a desire for political discourse, but due to politics being a necessary regime in the everyday reality.
