My research arises from the need to find meaning in what appears ephemeral and transient. I work in relation to spaces and images where emptiness suggests different dimensions and realities. Within this framework, my paintings or sculptures invite further potential interventions, even if only imagined and not necessarily real. My interest in psychology led me to explore the connection between Art and Science. In particular, I focused on studies in Perception Theory and Gestalt Psychology, which allowed me to approach art holistically. Supported by a passion for Eastern philosophies, I'm intrigued by the mechanisms of vision that somehow reflect the mechanisms of life. When we see, we don't focus on individual parts but on their sum. I believe this approach should be applied in all aspects of life. That's why I've studied the neuronal mechanisms that influence our emotions, read Buddhist books, and seek to understand aspects of quantum physics. I also have an interest in health through a naturopathic approach.
Drawing from some political reflections (Silvia Federici and her thoughts on common goods have been a constant guide for my ideas), through a research methodology inspired by "Lost" (Franco La Cecla) and the geometric forms of suburban buildings, I explore forms in their essence. The relationship with light, spatial placement, and the equilibrium governing the universe.In my quest to discern what sets visual sensation apart from the information that reaches the brain, my spaces suggest a dialogue, or perhaps a fusion, between what appears inside and what appears outside, attempting to demonstrate that thereis no rupture between the two dimensions but rather a continuum. The experience of which is derived from the viewer's perspective.
