Jordi Fornies

Painting allows me to forget, but it also allows me to remember. It helps me to feel, but also to disconnect and get lost. Sometimes I experience it like one of those dreams that I"˜ve had but I just can't remember what happened. An already distant dream in which I undertake a journey but only knowing strokes of a destiny. A journey that transports me to that space, or
those spaces where I can relax, unwind and experience all kinds of emotions. A place where I can again find some loved people. A space where I am free to express, talk and communicate with them, using an unlimited canvas.

"...Jordi has an extraordinary ability to make images that arrest us, stop us in our tracks - his mastery of colour is an important part of their impact. And as we approach them we are captivated by the worlds that each canvas contains: the varied textures and details, the pictures within pictures."
