A painting created through free improvisation. Action painting with music by Jim White.

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens coexisted. They weren't very different; one was stronger, the other more social. Only one evolutionary line has remained.

We asked ourselves questions. We were able to "tame" Nature, we specialized, we lived longer. We expanded, we colonized the whole world and changed it. Now it seems that it's too small for us.

However, just recently we were monkeys who had risen above the norm.

Evolution: very little genetic difference, yet radically different. Small details shape our course.

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 lost look in my eyes...
