Biography

Artist's Statement

In my new work the viewer will evoke murals, will see walls with their dark shades. Ancient and modern archaeologies, cities in ruins, rediscovering the splendor of an empire of art stricken by death, that the eye brings back to life and by this renewing with the origin and it's initial force.

I also compose collages…..collages of thought, fragments using materials and sources that I process, which are inhabited by socio-cultural codes, that are timeless. In doing so, I am both challenging of the times and inviting to meditation.

For the “On A Caravan” exhibition

Based on mixed media techniques, I derive the concept of "weaving" in the two collages that I present. This interwovenness stands for the principle that everything is linked, connected and rooted in oneness.

So the result, like carpets, show humans, houses of worship, symbols and letters in state of interwovenness, so the eye can float and discover, and by this it's an invitation to meditation.
