“The real landscape of our time is a mix of signs, symbols and impressions”.
Ed Ruscha
My research in the pictorial field begins with my interest in empty and silent spaces, marked by the trace of human presence.
The "livable spaces" - facades and interiors - and the natural landscapes seem to me to say the same thing in this sense.
However, perhaps far from wanting to generate a narrative charge to the image, the process takes me closer to abstraction, as I evidence the work through fields of color - almost always using a very limited palette - through a minimalist composition.
Even in the paintings of natural landscapes, which suggest a certain “realism”, I always look for a counterpoint in the composition, inserting fields of color that refer to an architectural trail or that create a dreamlike atmosphere.
The graphics inserted into the facades and interior scenes seek this same counterpoint to the straight compositions where they permeate.
In this way, I seek at the same time the geometric and the gestural, trying to make them coexist in harmony in the pictorial space.
