ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Abyss - 2019 Dim.: 70 x 50 cm (unframed) ( 84 cm x 64 cm with frame) Matte oil paint colour: black with nuances purple, red, green. Areas with normal paint. The Hands of God D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But it is a much more fearful thing to fall out of them. Did Lucifer fall through knowledge? oh, then, pity him, pity him that plunge! Save me, O God, from falling into the ungodly knowledge of myself as I am without God. Let me never know, O God let me never know what I am or should be when I have fallen out of your hands, the hands of the living God. That awful and sickening endless sinking, sinking through the slow, corruptive levels of disintegrative knowledge when the self has fallen from the hands of God, and sinks, seething and sinking, corrupt and sinking still, in depth after depth of disintegrative consciousness sinking in the endless undoing, the awful katabolism into the abyss! even of the soul, fallen from the hands of God! Save me from that, O God! Let me never know myself apart from the living God!

All my paintings have in common a mental reality, not a physical one. I am against painting that is based only on observation and theory, painting as if done by robot, painting that has the safety net of theories in painting. I want to explain what and how I paint, I will define it as a relationship between a mode of observation (internal and external) and a way of expressing it. This is the answer for which some works need to express the idea of figurative, others go to abstract or symbols and each one needs a different way to be realized. I do not paint a landscape, idea, theme, in an established pictorial way, I do not follow the theories and clearly established criteria. Depending on the psychological state of what I want to express, then I use one of many modes of expression in painting. In painting you can use color and size not only according to the physical reality, but also according to the mental reality. I am convinced that everyone had the surprise to find and find in places that have a different outline and other physical and emotional dimensions. After a while, longer or shorter, the fountain from which the water once drank changed its size. I do not paint with the same emotion, but under an emotional complex, this is why some works are intuitive, others are strongly rationalized. In each paper I had to tolerate the uncertainty, not knowing where the idea goes, to change the way the subject is played. There were quick endings, but there were also roads that closed and I had to resume and investigate what I want and I like the search. I tried to formulate what happens when I stand in front of a canvas, without exposing all the "cognitive maneuvers", the interpretation is left to those who regard, the benefit is both. This is what those who have already started digesting my paintings from the three years since I woke up in painting know this. So let's see outside what is not foreign to us inside!
