Presentation
I’m in the centre of everything. In the place of all created things.
I can’t tell, in an exact way, when this became clear to my eyes, I also don’t think about this subject. I don’t remember the beginning, neither the causes of this long walk, slow but prudent, responsible. I know that through it my senses reached a profound balance.
My time is slow but decided, it is a natural process nourished by a current of emotional and sensorial impressions that perturbs. Sometimes, I’m not quite sure if I’m awake or if I’m dreaming.
When I decided to build this gallery, I was for far from imaging the repercussions of this initiative. I could not determinate with clearness the amplitude of this work.
I opened the soul and let some fragments came out, the ones that define my own existence, nature and character. It is like to sweep here and there the different states of the artist thought.
The nature is my source, it fascinates me and let me suspense between the act of observing and creating. I see and feel the things that surround me in different forms, distractedly or with interest. I register the happenings day by day, to see them with clearness and put them in order. The studies succeed, the works more or less cleared are revealed in the different sections of this gallery.
I show how I observe and analyse what I see, how I draw and paint, and finally I describe what I feel.
