Statement
Focused on the coexistence between silence and dynamic, my main aim is to depict the body in movement as concentrated as possible to arrive at an image of intense energy and elegance. I have always been interested in representing ambiguous figures engaged in enigmatic actions. By fusing the real with the dreamlike, I feel my work is about the eternal recurrence – the human being as fleeting image that vanishes, since it is made out of energy, it transforms, evolves, changes, fragments, dissolves, dies and regenerates again and again.I have merged many elements from different artists such as the action painting characteristics of Jackson Pollock, the dynamic of Robert Mapplethorp, the spirituality of Bill Viola, the drama of Arnulf Rainer, the Existentialism of Francis Bacon, the solitude Hughie O’Donoghue and even the pious emotionalism of El Greco.
I believe that all art reflects on ones own ideal state of beauty and I look at it as a concept of personal transformation. My work has therefore a certain meditative connotation, as it strives to uncover an ideal of harmony and stability that remains however, forever ephemeral.
I live and work in Brighton, UK.
