ARTIST STATEMENT
It is exactly as a psychoanalysis’s session.
Step by step I go in search of those sensations that remain submerged in the unconscious and that most influence the soul’s state, provoked in turn by the most significant events of existence: the encounters, the losses, the fundamental bonds, the conquests and failures, the falls and rebirths, the relationship between human beings, nature and God.
My “inspiration’s source” are the events that condition the human soul and how it reacts. Those events that leave deep marks, scars, in our unconscious which in turn tries to hide them. So I whatch on my biography, my past or what happens every day and that inevitably affects my balance, my psyche.
I am trying to create my own vocabulary of images composed by natural elements, such as trees linked together, roots, branches that break, or elements that constitute barriers, limits, boundaries or paths.
