I have always believed that art restores to language the dimension
of the “inexpressible” and the possibility of a silent
universe that is visually immediate but rationally almost ungraspable.
Nevertheless, and in response to the conceptual demands of today’s
world of art, here are a few hints, an attempt to help viewers
find their own approach to my work.
Somehow my aesthetic position is determined by the combination
of several factors: my personal experience, emotions and feelings
in relation to social issues, ethical questions, archetypes and
symbols. I make use of complex methods to fill up the contents
dictated by the subjective intellect, allowing the unconscious
to have a significant role in the execution of the piece.
Being fascinated by the interplay between chance and reason in
the way our lives are shaped, I transport this reality into my
creative process. A chance sparks a plan. A plan, when executed,
exposes us to new chances. Neither order nor chaos always alone
is sufficient. This borderland is what I attempt to capture.
I transform the figure and forms to my own desire. I don’t
have a naturalist or realistic ambition. My purpose is to awaken
ideas and feeling, and to activate perceptual mechanism in order
to produce a wealth of associations.
Depending on the “combination of factors” mentioned
above, I create a space profusely layered by many stages of color
and form, but other times there is an easier path through my emotions
and ideas.
Obviously, I am influenced by the time in which I live, and I
respond to it; but if I have an obsession it is to remain faithful
to the demands of my spirit, to be myself regardless of the current
intellectual fashion.
As an artist in a new century, I feel like engaging myself in
all possible mediums and/or techniques available. I am a painter
who dares to experiment with photography and digital technology
as well, and I leave the door open to try new mediums according
to my wishes and need for expression. I am more interested in
experience and playing than I am in producing a signature image
easy to recognize and sell.
