La pintura es poesAa silenciosa SimA3nides Artistic experience, as a spectator, and then, more directly, as an artist, has meant for me the possibility of transcending and reaching certain spaces that are intangible, but lived daily. As a creator, to be in front of a blank canvas or a digital image to be manipulated, is to be faced with a challenge that of translating to the language of forms, textures and colors something that has not yet been conceptualized, but that exists somewhere and that I desire to capture, expressing it through those materials and tools at my disposal.

Helena Wierzbicki - I have always enjoyed art from an early age. This love of Art has stayed with me and developed and grown, and now, I cannot imagine wanting to do anything else.

Shades of colors and lines turning images of beings into landscapes and symbols. My art is an evolving process, I take and represent only elements which are the essence of the imaginary being. I rely on my desires for beauty, poetics and seduction. "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887) ...
