To play with the tip of a spatula on the simple surface of the canvas produces the first patches of what could be a painting. There are no ideas, no projects. Only the scratching of a scratching material on a surface that accepts it. It all starts like this. Ideas come up as we look at the density of the visual field. A painting is not for me a form of design for other designs or elaborate developments. Its structure arises from the very act of making even when I had previously thought about a certain object or objective. Painting has always to do with representation even if it is not recognizable as such. And eventually it could never be considered as representing someone or something in its literal sense. Representation arises at the moment a fact is created: a surface in which a situation happens, and it depended on a gesture that grabbed a thought, that only arose or become to being, because that gesture was made. The painting as a drawing, or a sculpture, a video or any other means man invented to re-elaborate what his eyes continue seeing, the painting I was saying, poses a statement and a question: “I am here" and "why am I here?»
