I think that critical thinking goes hand with hand with art and my paintings are born from a thought where nothing is resolved; it is an endless path with no arriving  point coming from an accumulation of a life of experiences, felt and heard. I see the white surface of my canvasses as Absences and I go from there, woven into the uncounted, rather the mimetic approach or incorporating optical illusion ... I start with simple lines and color allowing them to be without resistance and judgment until it starts to have a life of its own and emerges. It is then that the composition takes Presence. There is always a constant connection and dialogue with my works. I can’t explain why I paint that way. What I can say is my paintings are created from a reflective point (or in a contemplative frame) of mind from a lifetime of observations, experiences and powerful recollections about Humanity and Nature. I follow a state of mind- a motion or emotion that wakes up what was in me in a dormant stage and evolves on the canvas spontaneously and creates a sense- Presence.
