A painting created through free improvisation. Action painting with music by Franz Schubert.
Thinking about William De Kooning's quote about staying on the edge of things. The balance is very tight, and only at the limits of style, at the edge of painting, is virtue found.
Playing on the fringes, mixing stories that have nothing to do with each other. Building a work from a character in a drawing by a 4-year-old girl. Nature, city, antiquity, modernity...beings lost in worlds that are not their own.
Everything filtered through a dream and built on a wall marked by graffiti and the passage of time, in a big city.
We, who are Nature but have become something else.
Gestural, intuitive painting that lets things happen and relies on what emerges. Taking advantage of the unexpected and accepting the consequences.
The unknown, that which slips through our fingers... Nature, antiquity, the earthly and the spiritual.
The need to tell stories, to leave a mark, to understand the world, which is always both modern and ancient.
Nothing matters much... Working with a vacant stare...
