Exhibit at Art Club 2000

When looking at a painting most people interpret it in terms of aesthetic beauty, basing their decision on the instantaneous visual sensation, whether it looks right, beautiful… ignoring that there could be further points of view, maybe less superficial, embedded in the experiences lived and the insidious paths explored by a courageous, sometimes lonely and even unappreciated artist.

Through painting I expose my inner soul to the viewer most of the times expressing things never said in words. 

In my work I  enjoy experiencing and experimenting with the new mediums and new Techniques. Sometimes I combine the use of real object and painting in order to create a new reality, a scene where the laws of the physical world may not always apply...

...Therefore a painting cannot be interpreted only in terms of what one thinks one knows. But one has to try and look, think and experience even for just an instance what the artist did and why. This is the only way in order to place and connect the different symbols and therefore discover the key for the whole puzzle.

So good luck, and may the journey be a pleasant one!
