MISMAR Painting

My pictorial research has long been based on the human portrait, which, for me, is an emotional container, a universe of forms that changes and mutates through time and history. Sometimes my portraits become an exotic and distant journey, discovering distant faces, peoples and cultures, a story that comes from my numerous travels between Africa, the East and South America. Recently my research has been consolidated on the study of our human condition in the time of technology and mass digitalisation. I have a vision of our existence as indissoluble from all other forms of life and energy. We are connected through cerebral and spiritual connections to everything, other people, space, animals, air, water, trees, flowers. By inserting lines and shapes that recall digital and neural connections, my portraits become a representation of this vital explosion of matter and energy that composes us, guides us and keeps us alive.
