HAPPY MEMORIES - PORTRAIT

Concept

“What matters to me is honesty, intuition and personal expression.
Each material, canvas, wood, or paper is for me a field where I stroll around and apply my sensations, my feelings, my memories.
Energy, dynamic and colors unifies all my works. I like to suggest without imposing, I leave the viewer to make his/her own interpretation, to finish the story.
I use variety of materials, conventional artistic or not, refusing to be limited to one medium. In several works I incorporate natural pigments and organic elements as paper, textile, sand, sawdust, apparently not belonging to the pictorial world, to break down the barriers between art and daily life. To apply the colours I use brushes, knives, handmade squeegees, sponges, or my hands. After applying the paint, I drag and scrape up layers of wet or dry paint leaving marks. That gives a nice “used” effect and creates the story of the work.
Material, colour and composition, a perpetual challenge to create something new.”
