About
''We come from infinity and we move towards it.''
Painting is the search for light, a way to communicate with chaos and a permanent battle to define oneself. My interest is not in depicting accurate images of natural patterns, an artificial reproduction, instead I attempt, by listening to the subconscious and bringing to the surface feelings inseparable from life, to convey a direct view of the sense or the essence of the world.
