Artist statement
My work is an exploration of human relationships through a pictorial language in the reflected mirror of a liquid society where the humans are looking for their identity.Human beings and Nature, listening to Hearth and its shapes, the breath inside and outside of us, in an attempt to overcome our tidy human borders; these are the focus of my research.
The pictorial surface is to me a place of propulsion tension between the physical limit of the body and the immaterial lightness of dreams.Anatomical vestiges are filled of a dynamic empty, like a cavity ready to welcome and to preserve its strength in fluid movements made of colour and background masses which sculpt these presences – absences, in an incessant game between fortuity and willpower.
