Being brave
brings pain and flowers

The creation of this body of work coincides with a period of deep reflection, where the need to bring together a set of references-symbols of my artistic identity becomes real, although, as always, with a huge retraction from the possibility of limiting myself to watertight definitions. An almost existential claustrophobia and the unconscious/conscious imposition of not filling all the space.

There is, however, a desire to find my own vocabulary in the artistic practice and deconstruct ideas, in order to go against the limits and boundaries conceived by an overly present consciousness.

These works are the result of a reflection between what is improvised and intuitive and what is thoughtful and rational, two dimensions that complement each other in mapping out my internal structures. I’m interested in the process, that experimental space where each step drives and finds balance in the next step, in a permanent exploration between what is spontaneous and impulsive in terms of gesture, color and composition and what is planned, rhythmic and creates patterns.

Even though the language is light, there is always a shadow that weighs heavily, which reflects the tension between impulse and reason and which never allows me to believe that I am where I should be, but which, at the same time, pushes me on to the next step.
