Faces emerge surrounded by layers of trials and resolution of previous problems.
The souls of survivors are never tranquil. The craziness and power of weakness are what mesmerize me.
My painting process is letting falling, spilling, making errors. It's the process of discovering the final images.
Nothing is decided at the beginning. It's about loose drawing, textures of oil paints made by knives, selection of other colors after choosing one. Through these stages with sometimes 0 or sometimes multiple references, emerges what I see in other people, what I want to see in myself.
This is recording of my each days, almost like diaries or snapshots.
The paints and tools do not move the way I want them to, but this process makes me comfortable knowing that I am open to mistakes and I am not bound to any rules or correct answers.
I am free to find the path to create images based on impromptu.
