Artist’s Statement
For me, gestures and feelings are the two things I have worked with in the past five years of my career. To transmit these sensations, I have chosen the human figure. I find that by presenting the viewer with something as familiar as the human form, the spectator opens easily to those feelings that have the power to evolve and elevate us on our every day life, as I try to convey on my paintings. I have always admired the simplicity and power of the iconic figure as well as the ‘Madonna’s’ from the great masters. I have taken some of the elements and tried to transport them to a more modern type of representation by using simple blocks of colors, but leaving the faces timeless and ageless like those on the Icons and Madonna’s. In addition, I have preferred to make the identities of the people represented in my paintings to be irrelevant and keep the color palette simple in order to enhance the beauty and energy of the message. I carefully make all my boards out of wood and linen. I reach the high intensity on my colors by building from egg tempera to oil and pigments.
