Visual Artist

“On the boundary between figuration and abstraction, I develop a body of work centered on the mineral, conceived as a meeting point between the physical matter of the world and intimate experience. Through painting and intaglio printmaking, I explore a geological temporality that puts human existence into perspective.

My painting is rooted in a physical and process-oriented approach. Inks, acrylics, and oils are worked through layering, impasto, removals, and reworkings. My gesture, at times controlled and at times liberated, brings forth forms where strata, tensions, and erasures emerge. The canvas becomes a space of sedimentation where matter is built over time, incorporating the accidental as an integral component. This approach gives my work a density that evokes both resistance and transformation.

My printmaking extends this exploration. On the copper plate, drypoint, etching, and aquatint carve and shape the surface. The bite of the acid leaves traces akin to those of erosion or human activity on rock. The printing process reveals these invisible strata and gives the ink its depth, striking a balance between technical mastery and an element of unpredictability.

My overall body of work is characterized by the combination of identifiable mineral elements with an assertive gestural and material expression. Within a palette dominated by blacks, grays, and deep tones, the forms evoke landscapes in mutation. This tension between permanence and transformation reflects a human condition that is at once fragile and inscribed within a broader continuity.”
