I see painting as an expressive subterfuge. Through a process of research and production in art, I permeate the wide concept assigned to it. My work is grounded as a counterpoint for linear and obvious pictorial narratives, avoiding archaic aesthetic and social values that have been professed in ancient Greece, perpetuated during colonialism and that still dictate the post modern conception of beauty, elegance, grace, ethic and sanity. Alongside with my artistic production, I peer my own body, mind and soul, rethinking about the meaning of the existence of the human race, and bringing up a visual fruition composed by elements of the atmosphere which I coexist and that infect me. In my point of view, art must make up for disapprovals, shall go way beyond judgements and trends, and, simultaneously, must violate the common meaning of life.
