My paintings are not “abstractions” from any real landscape or object; they are born through a spontaneous - although lifelong - process, which is deeply rooted in the intimate and disquieting aspects of my subconscious; a sort of sensuous reverie that builds a bridge between the inside and the outside.

The typical issue about the artist’s need/search for inspiration is not predominant in my work because my main aim is to inspire in the viewer a dynamic attitude towards my work. I hope that the fruition of the experience comes about by inspiring an open, active and preconception-free approach to the paintings.

In my latest pictures, layers of colours and textures, create a symbolic engagement with the complex nature and diverse facets of human existence. The inevitable length of time that such a way of working on a painting requires, is a reflection of the gestation needed to create anything from within.The resulting artwork will always bear a title connecting the feeling triggered by the picture,or the personal emotion that made it possible.

And that’s why, only in total abstract art, can I embrace the infinite possibilitiesof expression and stimulate a dialogue with others.
