Symposium Print

I use painting as a means of speculation, contemplation and play, interweaving cultural references, personal histories and other art forms into compositions that investigate anatomical and nonphysical, immaterial, intangible details (forms, shapes) through references from early and high renaissance to neoclassicism. I have always acknowledged the need to relate to art and its tradition, trying to strike up a fresh dialogue with the viewer that presupposes a connection with the themes, compositional forms and expressive or narrative devices that have remote but solid roots in the history of art of our past. I use similarity and repetition in my work as a strategy to explore nuances over an extended period of time, thus illustrating the potentially flexible properties of reality and by extension, of art itself.
