ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Simple but fundamental questions animate the creative process in my practice:
How does memory work? How can we investigate the standpoints created by memory through the pictorial element?
Through memory we re-generate images, stories of lived experiences that in their own right are micro-existences with distorted colours, different compositional elements and perceptions. Memories are built through opposite angulations, in their becoming, with finished or unfinished results.
My interest for colour contrasts and structure is fundamental and reflects the idea that ambivalent forces, when they meet, can create, destroy or find a fine balance in the composition just like the contradictions emerging from memories.
This confrontational exchange generates a dialogue between the works as small fragments of memory and through a plan of combinations, which reveals its sustaining formal structure. Representation replaces reality with a series of signs that can be interpreted and reinterpreted differently every time like memories: blocks and defined lines represent finished poles and are mixed with the smudges of forms which are still evolving, in their becoming in a highly lyric approach to the abstract composition.
