I understand my art practice as a search for the inexpressible, the reality that transcends the merely visible. That which demands to activate a different perception open to intuition. This interest focuses on the importance of the symbol as an evocative force in the everyday, and the layout as strata of the temporal course of experience.

Geometric abstraction allows me to approach this reality. In my work, number holds a determinant role. Jung says that “number should be understood not merely as a construct of consciousness but also as a factor existing a priori in outer and inner nature.”

I use traditional techniques like stucco, gilding and egg tempera, not so much as a revival of old methods, but for the laborious and slow processes that they entail. These procedures ultimately tame will: time enables outcomes that have far more to do with the density of what we experience and create, rather than with the simple measurement of time and effort.

All the pieces maintain the same small format of 34×21 cm, a proportion related to the golden ratio. After sealing a solid piece of wood with rabbit skin glue, linen cloth is attached on one side. Then, the stucco is laid. Painting consists of egg yolk tempera, and at times also traditional gilding.
