The eye always follows the ratio that guides it. Darkness is nothing else but the revealer of what the light obscures. It forces us to think, to elaborate; it sets in motion sublime mechanisms of the mind that tries to get out of it. The strength of bodies is fed by them. The attraction towards the other is out of time. There is no prison except in the light that deceives me.
Can art embody the essence of nature?
The research that exists in my works aims to provoke and give life to static objects, freeing the view from the prison of pure evidence. I would like you to find yourself in my natural elements and in the two-dimensional context they occupy.
