MARILYN MONROE - VENUS NOIR - Limited Edition 1 of 7 Artwork

I work with the imaginary archives of our cultural pictorial memory. In exploring the relationships between body, intimate and collective memory in a sort of hyper-attentive perception I merge diverse narratives into polyphonic visions. While seeking to capture the fictions, moods and abysses of an image it is the intense emotional-intellectual intrigue that grips me what finally matters. I think of pictures as opaque and transparent. I think of darknesses that open up, of surfaces eroding. I am interested in ambiguous context, in thresholds and liminality, in crossing lines, shifting from a simulated distance, as if in a mirror. It's an imaginative setup allowing for unconscious memories to unfold. I mainly work with photography and digital transformation processes, but sometimes also with painting, film and various other media. My approach is ultimately timeless, whereas my tools and materials may infinitely change. My artwork is in both private and Museum collections in Europe, China and the US.
