Artist Works | Biography: |
I paint because I need it. I need to pour my world on a board, on a canvas and there express my fears, my desires, my frustrations, the landscape of my deep background. Only then do I really feel free, without complexes, without ties of any kind or formalities, or concepts. When I paint I feel as if I was flying, without any sure technique, without exhaustive knowledge, without obvious experience ... but during those moments when I am alone, with my hands stained by the paintings, and I look at the forms that begin to appear on the canvas, I spread my tired wings and flight, better or worse, but for a few moments the time stops. That is for me to paint.
Painting, as well as writing, are two passions that start in my childhood, occupy my adolescence, disappearing during my youth and maturity. Sometimes due to the stress of studies or work, others due to family occupations and others due to pure vagrancy. Until they both fell asleep in a hidden basement that I ended up closing unintentionally. About three years ago I fell into a swamp. I discovered a part of me that I completely ignored. The perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect partner, the perfect friend was a human being with defects, with weaknesses, with his own dark side. And it has been in these last two years, during this hard road of guilt, flogging, acceptance and finally forgiveness, when, looking in the mirror, I have asked myself what I really want, what are my dreams. And here I am. I'm going to give me a truce, without feeling selfish, and spend a long time to trust me, to flatter me a bit and pamper my reflection. I'm going to give me a truce to peer through the daily fog, against own breeze, against foreign winds, and find what made me happy, what I lost without intent I'm going to give me a truce because I want to rescue from my background the anchored projects and set course towards the certainty of the uncertain. |
