Changes are made within the logic of looking for results in my work. There is always a need to take advantage of the options that turn up in the working process, and when they cannot be developed at the time I make a note of them in my book and they remain there so I can work on them later on in the future. I see technologies – old and new - as an extension of my body. I use … [Read more...]

There is the idea of something that was seen (a work one likes in the history of art, texts, photos, some detail, theme or subject), anything that is worth exploring. Following this is a natural development of this idea, often on paths that stray considerably from these starting points. Besides the computer, where I keep my “memory banks”, I have some notebooks in which I … [Read more...]

I believe anything you do is work, and that work always relates to everything that has gone before: art is only art to the extent that it relates to the history of art. The way in which individuals pick up previous givens, transforming and developing them is the individual’s artistic art. But when that work is merely producing a little of what has already been said, I find it … [Read more...]

What fascinates me is looking at a look. We usually do not expect a drawing to look at us. It is something that might happen, or might not or never happen. there are many occasions when you look at painting, in which you are involved in a specific way. This involvement concerns you and what you are giving back to it. Rejecting previous lines of work, re-thinking tradition and … [Read more...]

The choice of colours is very intuitive and also very visual. If all artwork depends on how the artist uses materials to challenge an observer, colour takes a special importance in the painter’s practice. Painting constantly forces the artist to make choices, acts of acceptance or refusal, sometimes on an irrational basis. Doing art can be so compulsive that working “with … [Read more...]

What typifies my work is the reference to representations of the landscape, of the architecture, of the space, whether inside or outside, spaces surrounding a figure, perhaps an observer. These are subjects that have always been with me and which do not function in opposition. When i make drawings with references to architectural objects, i am satisfied when the lines and … [Read more...]

Chronologically, my first works are drawings, but drawings that have a structure similar to painting. they are not the founding drawings/studies for painting neither for any other works. they have nothing to do with the idea of the drawing as a concept. they are drawings that come out directly onto the paper as if they were a painting. i could have started out with drawing … [Read more...]

Art is something that may bring you strange doubts. you have doubts about what it is; you might not even know what it is. in reality, anything can be art: it depends on our attitude towards certain objects or doing certain things. i think it is necessary to have a special talent, not in the sense of something that only a few possess but something that could be awake in each … [Read more...]
