I think that art offers humankind the possibility to perceive the existence of a parallel, imaginary universe, more inhabitable that our own; where reality is transformed into meanings that become part of the spirit.

If I didn’t paint, I would find it impossible to create the icons of my inner self and I would weaken my spirit by not showing myself as individual. For me, the abstraction of reality allows me to understand it better, and in such a way, along with a better understanding of nature, to be able to transform my own reality through painting.
