Immediately, as soon as we are born, coming from the depths of absence, we need something to look at us. We call this something that emerges in the darkness, in the abandonment, in the emptiness, in the hunger, in the night, in the loneliness, "an image".
Pascal Quignard
How much does a resting force weigh? How open can a color be? Is it possible to paint something I do not understand? What is hidden behind what I represent? For me, painting is about engaging with these profound questions. It is an embrace of not knowing and, through intuitive exploration, transforming into matter what challenges and intrigues me.
In my work, I seek to translate the forces, emotions, and affections that arise from everyday life and dreams. Each painting becomes a representation that captures these intangible experiences. Balthus once said, "Painting translates something that comes from within and meets reality. It helps to read the deep structure of things."
My desire in painting is fueled by the pursuit of the indefinable, a quest for something whose exact nature and purpose continually elude me.
This series of oil paintings explores mystery. They dwell in insinuation, capturing moments before something happens, just on the verge of unfolding. These works reside in the realm of ambiguity, where memory and expression converge.
