Artist’s Statement
ARTISTS STATEMENT
My subjects come from nature. I am interested in simple elements such as trees, water and earth. The motif arise from emotions, which I organize according to perceined reality around me.
Experiences and memories inspire me when I am painting. Today is present as much as the past. I am fascinated by the way landscapes can enbody time. When I am in the process of painting, my work continues instinctively without planning. My tecnics are oil, acryl, tempera, water color, India ink, coal and I paint "alla prima" or alternatively layer by layer. When I succeed I may find new meanings to everyday reality.
My works are influenced by the cycle of nature and the changing seasons. When the light increases in spring, painting is easier. My landscapes are built of opposites such as light and shadow, heavy and airy, unfinished and finished.
