The research of my work is centered on the exploration of subtle and remote worlds, to be evoked within oneself and in the places of the soul.

What we are is determined by the totality of our inner experiences, the experience we share with others, the processing of our thoughts, feelings and dreams, like so many pieces of a mosaic that is being updated every moment within us.

My goal is to take people by the hand and make them enter secret, timeless places, passing through distant sensations, evoked images and forgotten emotions. An invitation to contemplation and imagination, which, beyond my specific personal quest, allows each viewer to find their own stories in each room, face and time.

That is why in my paintings nothing is represented as it is in reality, neither people nor things, on the contrary, everything is metaphysical matter and dreamed dimension. The interior merges with the exterior, the conscious with the unconscious, the real with the symbolic, in dimensions where time and geographical distances do not exist.

To succeed in this intent, both in oil painting and pencil illustrations, I use transparencies, which allow me to make feelings, thoughts and memories real that would otherwise not be visible.
