After an initial period focused on sculpture there was a prolonged halt lasting a while. Since December 2014 I have resumed with the “two dimensions,” neglecting sculpture and dedicating myself to creating acrylic paintings.

I love painting abstract landscapes but recently I have been pushing myself to paint faces of people, both imaginary and real.

For me painting is about “stopping time” at that exact moment; a painting of mine is often a faded memory and therefore my works are “consumed, eroded by time.” Sometimes the subject of my paintings are glimpses of walls also eroded by time, with moss and mushrooms that — over time — grow on the surface.
The passing of time is the main theme of my works.

Coming from a wonderful experience with clay manipulation, I adore sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch and my paintings are often characterized by reliefs that are clearly perceptible to both touch and sight.

In this recent period, after several years during which my works were made from bits of recycled paper forming figures, I am pushing myself to explore Optical Art where I use painted wooden discs arranged in lines and grids repeated with mathematical rigor that up close seem to form a colorful abstract painting but the further you back away the more a portrait emerges from the many painted wooden discs.

Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all of my works when I reproduce female faces, precisely to give them a voice when they do not have the strength or courage to report that they are not their partner’s dolls and cannot be mistreated or, worse, victims of violence.
