My work is more than anything an invitation for viewer to enter dreamlike, sometimes surrealistic worlds. I want the viewer to escape for a few seconds from their day-to-day reality without asking questions, only enter and dream, like a type of hallucinogen… I invite them to just be and see, and try to look at the works in another way, which is why I have chosen abstract style because it offers the resources of doing so.
What inspires me the most is sex – not merely the act that shows the carnal animals that we are, but sex as a divine action that is repeated in all creation. The term “sex” derives from the Latin word “sexus”, or “sectus”, meaning section or separation. Sex is an action constantly repeated in order to create and re-create, from mathematics, physics, and chemistry to theories on the creation of the universe. If one pays attention, there are sexual actions everywhere, not only in creations of human beings. It is beautiful, unique, good. Maybe I see it this way because I am a follower of Gurdjeff’s theories, which argue that all manifestations of the self is sexual in nature, and that sex is the most important archetype in the human machine.
Another thing that inspires me is ancient civilizations – the ones buried by history, true stories of Mayan, Egyptian, and South American civilizations. It seems like the true story of humanity is much more incredible than science fiction. I constantly absorb information from mystery, hidden worlds, aliens, UFOs, parallel universes. I think these are the most important topics in life, but nobody seems to want to talk about them or know about them much. In this case we are face with the same, timeless questions: where do we come from? Where are we going? And who created life?
In a word, I am inspired by life itself, by nature, the universe(s), the infinite and inexhaustible worlds completely unknown to us… biology, sciences, arts… ultimately, LIFE.
Describe your personal style.
In fact I refrain from saying too much in my paintings. It has never been my intention to talk about politics or social matters in my paintings. My work is more than anything an invitation for viewer to enter dreamlike, sometimes surrealistic worlds. I want the viewer to escape for a few seconds from their day-to-day reality without asking questions, only enter and dream, like a type of hallucinogen… I invite them to just be and see, and try to look at the works in another way, which is why I have chosen abstract style because it offers the resources of doing so.
In any case, I am convinced that the images in my paintings exist somewhere in the universe, and that I have seen them in one of my lives in many dimensions, perhaps as a particle of cosmic dust. I was there, in these places, in this landscape. I could describe, with images and words, worlds never seen before and with luxurious details. And how? Why? Where does this information come from?
