STATEMENT

My artistic research explores the relationship between visual perception and the painted surface, emphasizing the continuous transformation of the visible and the dialogue between light, time, and space.
My investigation unfolds through a pictorial process that intertwines theoretical reflection and sensory experience, highlighting the potential of the surface as a threshold between the external world and the observer’s inner realm.
My work seeks to evoke an awakening of an hidden truth—a truth that does not present itself immediately or clearly but emerges through tension, a rupture that disrupts the linearity of perception. The artistic gesture, therefore, goes beyond
aesthetic manipulation, becoming an act of liberation—a way to offer the audience not an immediately recognizable reality, but a panorama revealed through the intrinsic and dynamic movement of the works themselves.
Currently, my approach to creation is characterized by a tension between control and chance, between layering and revelation. The act of tearing, scratching, or engraving surfaces becomes a systematic gesture that unveils the delicate balance between what is hidden and what is visible. This process not only deconstructs the visible surface but also invites deeper reflection on the role of perception and the relationship between truth and illusion.
