To think and express myself via pictures is a part of my nature. Besides, the Beauty is essential for me, that ‘s why I always search for it around. For years I ‘m devoted to explore my relationship with painting.
After some experimental trials, my efforts drive me to the conclusion that we are “slaves” into the structure and function of human vision. We understand the world only as far as our nature permit it. In addition, the knowledge that there are much more beings in the world that we are not able to see them, or somehow feel them, drive me to find out a way to express my sense of lifetime by visual terms. To find out a visual “alphabet“ to “tell” the story.
From one hand, I realize that life consists from series of moments and “chance” events and “casual” meetings. All these are the Fragments. From the other hand, I feel, if as a truth, that in life there is a continuity without limits, without definition of beginning and end. This is the Flow. So the series of Flows and Fragments was created. I still search the ways to enrich this alphabet.
