About the Artist

I think the easiest way to define my activity as an artist and my intellectual approach to art would be to quote Apollinaire s thesis in his Les Peintres cubistes: m�ditations esthetiques, especially the following sections:

... Therefore, as an offer to the spirit, in the plastic arts, the fourth dimension should be generated by the three known dimensions: represented by the immensity of space eternally present in all the dimensions of a given moment �
... Cubism differs from the painting that came before it because it is not the art of imitation, but the art of thought raised to the level of creation �
... Scientific cubism is one of the pure trends. It is the art of painting new compositions with elements taken not from visual reality, but from the reality of knowledge �
... Physical cubism is the art of painting compositions with elements taken primarily from virtual reality �

In my painting, I work with geometric figures arranged on different planes that overlap one another and blend into real shapes (bottles, cats, birds, fruit), fabricated objects (small origami birds and paper boats) and everyday things (hats, shoes, etc.) to create a world of mystery and sensuality. The lines I draw are devised and expressed as sensual, mystic happiness.
My works are full of shapes and visual configurations that diversify, overlap and repeat to activate an imaginary world that is also real in order to create an emotional charge and an atmosphere of poetic expression.
Works in which paint and air combine to create plastic expression.
