I have been interested in exploring visually the world of organisms, whether microscopic, anatomical or botanical, ever since I started making abstract art. This theme manifests in my work over years of finding similar resolutions through varied work processes. I do not look at microscopic entities to get inspiration. The work is completely subjective; my imagery has to do more with personal inclinations and a life of intense observation of the natural world around me. In this period of disturbing quietness that we have been forced to live with during the world's Covid-19 threat, I find myself creating evocative shapes that resemble viral spheres. The circular round element, present in my work for so many decades, now takes this meaning, because it is in our minds. In the past, for me, these complex spheres have had different meanings: the perfect fertility symbol, the egg, the seeds, the planets, even our organs; most of nature offers itself to life from the sphere.

The organization of these marks emerges later, as an immanent necessity of each individual work, in a process of visual articulation or balancing. Intuition is my guide. My images are based on a subjective exploration were there is always doubt, anxiety and a strong desire to arrive at a clear emotional path. There is no narrative or ready message in my work it should be taken as a simple contemplative experience. What begins as a play of staining and marking of the work surface later turns into an effort to find some internal order that has connections and balances often evoking the world of anatomical biology. Round shapes reminiscent of the seminal and the instinctive, and grids, webs and the linear motives that measure the organic world, fluid states, streams and grating grasping structures are some of the compositional elements. I work with many layers applying paint as much as erasing or scraping away, and in this process leaving deposits of memory silent and subterranean marks that create a sort of geology of my expression, full of allusions that do not have a specific reference. It is a process similar to that by which the layers of memory work in our minds. Some images survive like evanescent shadows in contrast with the top more present layers, with ambiguous images that evoke or conjure without defining a precise direction. The symbols and images take shape in a floating plane of underlying memories, with multiple layers of significance and references. It is a constant activity of creation and destruction; it is a work of registering processes of affirmation and negation, of forgetting and re-encountering. The final result: an archeology of memories.
