ARTISTIC STATEMENT

“In my latest paintings, I am exploring man’s relation with his environment by combining contrasting images of nature scenes and geometrical structures around me, with my personal remembered images. The Imaginary Nature Scenes series are arrangements of the natural and artificial physical features of certain places I’ve lived in, filtered by experience and memory. I have always loved nature and have been fascinated by everything that the earth encompasses: flowers, forests, oceans, the rain, the sun. It all matters to me. I am also a huge fan of geometry. And still lifes.

I think painting has one feature that more contemporary media lack: a direct connection with the artist’s inner self through the hands, which are in fact the real brushes. Painting implies awareness of other artistic contexts; of an anthropological and natural context. It is a kaleidoscope of fragments, a hybrid language that works on various levels. It all lays in the desire to be one with the present through artistic expression, by painting the connecting flow of elements that connects modernity and history.”
