My work extends in parallel through various artistic media, but painting has always been my main form of production. My growing interest in the performing arts has given rise to a painting style that is increasingly open, both technically and conceptually. One the one hand, the kind of images I make has evolved over the years, based on an attitude not unlike action painting, which has gradually purified the forms and given rise to a self-contained painting style. It is no longer gestural, since it is not based on spontaneity or the expressiveness of the materials. Instead, it has developed a strong tendency to mimesis, to the simulation of gesture and its effects through the precision of drawing.
