In my recent body of work, human bodies and geometric volumes spread over surfaces, intertwined and interacting. Parts of bodies, wings, limbs and curves clash, touch, fall in love, and reject each other. Demon/angels, gristle and bones, dancers and wrestlers, the body parts of my work are gentle waves of memory.

The more obscure and unfathomable the stories behind the compositions, the sharper the outlines separating the depicted bodies. The assemblages appear like votive images claiming eternal time: where straight lines become frazzled and faces lose the wrinkles. These compositions are time incarnate, palindromic and unfolding. 

The colour operates as a limit. The surface as a field of emotions. The bodies as brush movement. The composition as a snapshot of the self.
