At first there was Imitation of gesture. Then Innovation.
In my individual journey, I am the myth maker.
The techniques, the materials, the surface, the
shadow, the volume or the lack of it, the colors or
the compositions, are not the priority. They are
merely a mental trip.
I’m motivated by the unknown, that’s why my
work begins unconsciously.
The unconscious is the body. I focus on the
movement. Only then can I cast an ideal
reflection. Powerful in its simplicity.
My method is simple. The process needs to be
naive in its initial stages, no knowledge required
or needed, the image needs to be found.
I choose the surface and the materials. I make
sure that everything is easily available and after
that the first layer is created with blind action.
Then I simply react to the possibilities that have
been given to me.
I am not original, I am purely reactive.
