I like to collect objects and images that are related to my memories. I believe experiences of the past are a nutrition for life and existence.
My paintings are built with the fragments from memories, from collecting, awakening, organising and representing. I allow those memories to naturally transform through time, or to modify different images as sometimes the brain lies or hides some experiences, or they are covered with other pictures. |
