"PEDAÇOS DE MEMÓRIAS" (Pieces of Memories)
A leaf falls, a shell remains.
A plane cuts through November.
A plane tree, two brothers perched in its crown.
A depressed fox, several hidden beings.
A God lost by ignored men.
Two undressed women, a painting yet to be painted.
A love returned, another by correspondence.
A music that sounds.
A creature, a nightmare, a Father, a Son, a child who is a Father.
An unkindness. A flower left to love.
A wooden box, oak pitted with cracks.
Inside, a secret place. A painting, a feeling,
a memory, a thing… things we carry inside us.
"I believe in the workshop.
The best way to develop a piece of work is to do it.
To be methodical, to set a goal.
To learn from the masters (living and dead). To read, to look, to study.
The paths are not always (almost never) clear.
But they are what make me experiment, take risks and develop new routes. Failures are doorways to other alternatives. They are part of the work, part of the workshop. Tales without an era, sensations of moments, scraps of everyday life or simple memories are a source of inspiration. Freedom from logic and from conscious explanation are the tools.
Patchwork compositions, fragmented pieces which, once joined, take on the appearance of my concrete, a realisation of the unconscious. Far from the unreachable end, I notice the transmutation of the work; it is not gratuitous but considered, in line with a goal I set myself: to attempt poetry on canvas."
