Statement
Free use of elements such as chairs, ladders, beds, unicycles, trapeze artists, swings, machines … is a way of telling stories about life. Chairs mean, depending on the context, the opportunities and patience that our life needs. The ladders represent our crave to ascend, to continue our personal growth. Beds depict the time to sleep and dream, experiences that we cannot share with anyone else. The playful characters are representative of the uniqueness and particularity of each of the moments that we live throughout our lives, and the game that is life. Painting is my life.
