Since a student of the School of Art, in the mid-eighties, I started to attend the most important art galleries of my city. It was then that my artistic taste developed: I became familiar with the newest artistic practices and by meeting a few protagonists of those years contemporary scene, my technical and cultural background expanded.

My pictorial art was affected from the shapes of Alberto Burri’s “cellotex” and from Anish Kapoor’s spiritual chromatism.

During that period my paintings developed into large dimensions for a personal need of physically being within the space of representation and to control the organization of the shapes through pondered and conscious acts.

Over the years, in my paintings have entered pop elements, images, and scripts, always following an idea of “hyperrealistic abstractionism”.

My works of art currently require a smaller dimension because acts and shapes are getting more and more intimate and thoughtful.

Spiritual is the term I often refer to, when I talk about my art.
