Mainly I use oil paint on canvas.
In my paintings I search for a balanced approach to dynamic compositions to get shape and color.
Usually my work is quite abstract or combined with figuration.
Feelings and fantasies also play an important role.

Articuló de publicación
Gilbert encuentra inspiración artística en la cultura prehispánica de México, en donde vivió mucho tiempo. Los sitios históricos y arqueológicos en México como Teotihuacan, Tulum, Chichén Itza y Palenque se convirtieron en su terreno de estudio. Ahí dibujó y tomó fotografías del conjunto de todas las esculturas. Se centró en la historia de los antepasados y el conocimiento de un mundo mágico de Dioses de la historia de México. El artista consciente que la vida se desarrolla en un mundo racionalmente analítico, juega con un registro de colores perfectamente en armonía al principio de la expresión. Gilbert es un hombre sensible que considera que los colores son 'el camino más corto al corazón'. El artista busca la realidad en los fragmentos de sus dibujos, las cuales amplifica a abstracciones líricas conforme a una composición dinámica. Sus obras más recientes tienen tintes minerales variables, rojos y tierra que muestran un entusiasmo de vida, amor, drama y misticismo.

Gilbert finds artistic inspiration in pre-Hispanic culture of Mexico, where he lived a long time. The historical and archaeological sites of Mexico as Teotihuacan, Tulum, Chichen Itza and Palenque became his field of study. He focused on the history of the ancestors and knowledge of a magical world of Gods of Mexico's history. The artist is aware that life is developed in a rational analytical world, plays with a record of colors perfectly in harmony at the beginning of the term. Gilbert is a sensitive man who believes that the colors are 'the shortest way to the heart'. The artist looking for reality in the fragments of his drawings, which he amplifies in a lyrical abstractions and dynamic composition. His most recent works are varying in mineral dyes, red earth and showing an enthusiasm for life, love, tragedy and mysticism.
----------------------------------------------------
Les thèmes retrouvés dans l'oeuvre de Gilbert sont souvent inspirés de la culture précolombienne de Mexico où il y a vécu plusieurs années.
Les sites archéologiques aztèques et mayas, dont Teotihuacan, Tulum, Chichén Itza et Palenque représentent sa source d'étude, où il a réalisé des photos et des dessins de sculptures intrigantes et mystérieuses.Les signes archétypes l'emportent vers des notions de temps qui nous sont inconnues, le monde magique des Dieux.
Gilbert joue avec un registre de couleurs, en harmonie pure avec la base dont il s'inspire.
Ses ouvrages récents se caractérisent surtout par des teintes rouges et ocre.
Ces couleurs, proches de la terre, qui comme nulles autres dégagent de l'enthousiasme, de la joie de vivre, de l'amour, la dramatique et du mysticisme.
Les peintures trouvent leurs origines dans divers carnets d'esquisses remplis de dessins des sculptures intrigantes et mystérieuses.
Ce sont surtout les esquisses et des centaines de photos des sites archéologiques de Tulum,Chichen Itza et Palenque qui ont représentées une source d'inspiration inépuisable pour l'artiste

La fantasía y el sentimiento destacan muy particularmente en la obra de Gilbert, este amable pintor flamenco y buen compañero. Su imaginación desborda y su valentía y atrevimiento a la hora de plasmar estos valores, que traduce en una obra variada e intensamente exquisita, apuntan alto y consigue en cada intento composiciones cromáticas de belleza sorprendente y peculiar que equilibran forma y color exquisitos plasmados en un arte abstracto lírico en ocasiones y en otras, con igual sensibilidad, en trabajos aparentemente clásicos dotados de técnicas contemporáneas de los revisten de juventud y de asegurada actualidad. Un abrazo, Freijanez
