Artist Statement:
In spite of the improvised
gesture used as a tool in the
pursuit of an ecstatic
representation, organic
choices in the construction of
the artwork remain preeminent.
Always of a gestural nature,
the artwork, which relies more
on improvisation than on
surrealist automatism, is a
visual description of the
conciliation of opposed
elements. Through exploration
of the abstract form and
inherent knowledge of the
figurative form, an art of
integration is developing.
Introspection, self-analysis
and a general deepening of the
unconscious mind play a vital
part in the development of a
personal and intimate imagery,
where exploration of the human
condition, commonly under the
form of metaphors, through
various archetypes and other
psychological figures,
occupies the leading role.
In the oscillating game of a
certain figurative
abstraction, travelling from
one pole to the other, the
artwork neither is figurative,
nor abstract. It overlaps and
transcends the traditional
definitions, but remains the
result of choices inspired by
the creation of a coherent
ensemble. Form, which is
principal expression and real
subject of the artwork, is
strongly illustrated with its
dominance, its richness, its
isolation.
