The works that I present in Basel are a continuity of the work that I have come to develop in this recent years. Engraved urban or natural landscapes in Mdf.
Through the technique that I use (mdf excavated by hand) I try to evidence the private effort that the artists develop in atelier, and when displayed, many times the final work do not pass of mere images, as many bilion of images, witch daily we are bombed. Therefore they are visible, in each work, all the stages that the work covered until arrive here.
Having apparently a vision ecologist, the work finishes for holding one very strong social component trying to evidence the human work and physical effort.
The final treatment, carried through with enamels and varnishes gives an industrial look, transforming the human effort into an apparent mechanical work.
A confrontation will be always present man/machine, natural/urban.
When making it difficult the reading of the image, I compel the spectator to delay themselves on each picture and to make an extra effort to obtain its reading. This way I make a Kind of print each people who observe my pictures, giving the works an apparent form to be ,first, xilogravura plates.
I’m interest to put questions as quickly as we absorb the most varied of information and as we are capable of assimilating, as we think it or we argue it.
It worries me to put more questions than give answers.
