So what is AREOS AQUAS anyway?

It all started with my fascination with the pseudonim concept.
All the cool authors used to have one. It was like an alter ego, a separate personality that would come out and speak out; freely. It was a secret, a way to reinvent oneself and a way to find a name that would encompass all I wanted to sign for, each time I wrote a poem.

So there it was, from the latin air and water, Areos Aquas came to be, and it appears in my notebooks since I was about 17, in different colors, styles, shapes, always, under the pieces of writing I admire the most and that are like whispered to me from beyond.

And then Areos Aquas turned into a logo and an idea (and just a couple of months ago my first poetry book!), and it is a proyect for years to come. My signature to the world that wishes to mix my love for the ocean, my science, my love for the arts, for the ethereal, for all that can´t be measured but just felt.
