Biography

My painting goes beyond the basis of my imaginary world, the formal principles of colors.

Colors, many colors…I see my world inside and out.

Color completes the gestures of my works, intense colors provoking contrasts, color intensity linked to gesture/emotion.
Just as abstractionism arises from a sequence of deepening reality, my works are based on this maximum approximation to reality, in which colors overlap in order to undo the images through the combination of sensitivity and expressiveness.
Pure colors harmonized and contrasted by mixtures according to the law of complementarities.

Saturated color chosen as the dominant principle of painting, exalts and vibrates, leading to the dislocation of contours, modeling, and precise details.

The compositional vitality of all this is superimposed on the disregard for the finite in favor of the sketch.
Art of interiority, that is, the projection and extroversion of psychic states into the surrounding reality.
Respective and parallel plastic definition, consigned to the tendency for the dissolution of forms into evanescent and luminous spots.
Works of gestural and informalist fury. Absolute creative freedom in my most dense individuality.

Valuing expression more than perfection, vitality more than finishing, floating more than rest, the unknown more than the known, the veiled more than the social, and the interior more than the exterior.

Mark Rothko said: "A painting lives by companionship, expanding or shrinking in the eyes of the sensitive observer. And, also for this reason, it dies. It is therefore a risky and merciless act to send it out into the world. How often it is permanently ruined by the eyes of the population and by the cruelty of the powerless who universally extend the pain."

Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk. This world of imagination is free from extravagance and violently opposes common sense.

That's why it's our job as artists to make the viewer see the world our way – not theirs.
