On The Beach Painting

As an architecture graduate, I’m much influenced by the forms and rational structure of urban landscapes. These combinations of surfaces, materials and geometric compositions, as well as the relationship between light and its reflections, are my main sources of inspiration. Most of my works are oil on canvas and I usually use particularly emotional tones, shades of color linked to different moods, largely referring to the tradition of the artistic Avant-gardes. I use to depict scenes in every conceivable light, from glowing romantic sunsets to nighttime gothic scenes. These suggestive and iconic scenes are accentuated by bold, rapid brushstrokes, which stain the surface, superimposing definite and decisive signs made in ink. Depending on the time of day or weather conditions, my palette can contain fantastic grays, intense blacks and blues, then bright gusts of pink, yellow and orange. The urban landscapes are rendered with intimate tones and dynamic traces. Many compositions are inspired by the most hidden spaces and facades of the city, where the reflected buildings, the colors of the street lamps and the neon signs shine in the rain or are illuminated by the sun. Each work represents a city with intensity and personality, the time of the work is the time and the unique situation of a special moment of the day. I travel around the world and it helps me to broaden my views, to overcome my creative limitations and to use my artistic practice for a variety of themes and unique subjects The common denominator of the paintings is the light, an elegant one able to create particularly dense and unrepeatable atmospheres for each landscape: “Light is the main player of all my works although it has a unique effect on each of them. The subject of light gives me the opportunity to expand and extend my limits to different places and themes, painting the main elements of the urban landscape: the invisible ones that change the face of things”.. Finally, in my works, the light describes and reveals but also has the ability to slow down time. Time is the dimension that completes the vision, giving back to the viewer the sensations of that pause for reflection in which everything is reduced and the colors and noises diminish. ARTIST STATEMENT “For me the influence of light on the urban space and its internalization is a challenge I have to overcome with each of my paintings.
