Painting can be a space to express realities that words simply cannot contain.
The realities I speak of are found in the nature around us: a vast range of contradictory phenomena that appear calm from a distance, but upon closer inspection, reveal a brutal battle. It’s a battle of tension, turmoil, and resilience, nested within layers of stillness, balance, and serenity.
The forms and shapes you see here are a translation of a contradictory rhythm, where disorder is constantly transforming into structure.
The color palette was born from the fusion of the world outside me with the layers of my inner world.
And the recurring lines in many of them serve as reflections of the repetitive patterns in our own lives. Just as these patterns can sometimes become monotonous in our lives, they hold an endless evolution within them.
It is precisely in this tension between order and chaos that a sense of harmony and balance emerges, which is the primary source of inspiration for these works. A type of communion with my mind's landscape, where I sometimes mark a spot, settle in, and lie down under its sky, just to observe it.
This is my "Protected Area"—a safe place amidst all the contradictions and storms of life, a point for creation and observation.
