About the Artist

Some time ago, I started to acknowledge and understand how contemporaneity affects all
of us.
We’re all shattered in a thousand pieces

Almost everything is common, we adapt ourselves to nearly any situation. All is ephemeral,
all is suscetible of an abrupt interruption, nothing matters except fulfilling our immediate
needs

Nowadays, one’s image is all that matters – A person is an image.
In my opinion, allof that sort of contemporaneity is confusion, not definition. Infinite possibilities and combinations, fake simplicity, foolish complexities.
A nonsense lysergic state of mind disguised as “post- something”
I re-create the boundless chaos in which we are bogged down to our necks.
I try to create images by way of contrasts: Hiding and showing, messing and cleaning, constructing and deconstructing, coloring and smudging, creating and destroying, drawing and scribbling, re-creating and denying

scribbles and excess paint (which frequently runs all over my work)

I use a profusion of colors, a confusion of lines, an unexpected smudge, shattered pieces,
I think of errors and accidents as possibilities, and work with all of them. I try to break, shatter, change, pause , interrupt – and, in the end, I join all those fragments into one only thing.
Working in that way, I use basically brushes, pieces of cloth, brillo pads, drop dispensers, sprinklers or any other instrument/ material that might attract me, on various types of surfaces, from traditional canvases to glass, vegetable paper and even cement sidewalks
This is my way of making sure I achieve what I search for: Something that makes people, when looking at my paintings, direcs his or her vision to the whole context. In that case, the larger the work, the better.
