Statement
I see my “vocation of the visual” as a search suspended between two “poles” which are the motives, and the justifications of my efforts. First, there is the experience of observable reality. This experience is highly subjective, personal, and intense. Second, there is the desire to attain an ever-elusive internal coherence of colors, planes, and lines on a two-dimensional surface.
My process is both intuitive and intellectual. For it revolves around the attempts to infuse a two-dimensional plane with subjective experiences, and to impart coherence and structure to the visual reflection of these experiences.
The process of my work is a dialogue between the subjective experience and the more objective ideal of order and harmony. My pieces, therefore, are always born somewhere between the Experience and the Ideal. As they grow, they strive to reach the unrepeatable particularity of the former and the utmost beauty of the latter.
