In my recent body of work, human bodies and geometric volumes spread over surfaces, intertwined and interacting. Parts of bodies, wings, limbs and curves clash, touch, fall in love, and reject each other. Demon/angels, gristle and bones, dances and wrestlers, the body parts of my work are gentle waves of memory.

The more obscure and unfathomable the stories behind the compositions, the sharper the outlines separating the depicted bodies. The assemblages appear like votive images claiming eternal time: with straight lines become frazzled and faces lose the wrinkles. These compositions are time incarnate, palindromic and unfolding. 

The colour operates as a limit. The surface as a field of emotions. The bodies as brush movement. The composition as a snapshot of the self.

In the realm of art, simplicity often speaks volumes. Depicted images are a striking example of how minimalism can evoke profound emotions and thoughts. At first glance, it appears to be a simple interplay of lines and shades, yet it invites the viewer into a deeper exploration of space and perception. 

The stark contrast between the dark and light areas creates a sense of depth, drawing the eye along the sharp lines that define the space. The use of geometry and perspective transforms a flat surface  into a seemingly endless corridor, challenging an understanding of dimensions.
The monochromatic palette enhances the mood, allowing the viewer to ficus on the subtle gradations of light and shadow. This choice strips away distractions, urging us to contemplate the essence of form and structure.
