"The unconscious is my starting point, the bizarre, absurd, paradoxical human behavior, which too often leaves even just the memory of the connection we have with Nature and the importance that it has.
In my works, what interests me is literally to 'throw out' all the forms that I can't explain with words: those images that I've always had inside, and that I gradually became able to transpose in drawings and paintings. They're colors and shapes or ideas that aren't in the world we can see, but in our mind.
But as Picasso once said: "Everything you can imagine is real".
My characters and my spaces are as real as I am, and I would not be the same without".
