My work is based on and contains forms deriving from the original drawing I design onto the canvas. I do not exactly know the shape which will be born out of this continuous drawing- painting process.
I am very interested in the resulting element of the presence of a form which I do not know in advance, forming and transforming little by little into a visual language and medium I consider to be the true content of my work.
The original drawing, the balance, the paint, the composition, as they turn out, are the features which highlight this kind of painting. The paradoxical and non- recognizable elements of the form are what I seek to continuously discover.
