Statement
To paint is to resist: to resist death, oblivion, the shadow that insists and the weight that remains. I paint like someone who searches in the shadows, guided by curiosity, feeling invisible paths to recognize, in every gesture, the human being that I am.
The "Museum" series emerges as a constellation of outlined images, shapes that have been appearing and revealing themselves over the years. It is not an archive, but a vibration: an expanding glossary where the conceptual and the chromatic are intertwined, where each image names what does not yet have a name and protects what refuses to disappear.
