What does "art" mean to me?

​

"Since I was a kid, I was attracted to the infinite possibilities of visual art and to the mysterious power of gaze perceptions.

Visual art is immediate, universal and it doesn't need translations. It stimulates people's unconscious, emotions, perceptions.

Creativity is an ancestral mystery, it concerns the origin of the world from prehistoric graffiti to our own childhoods. From my point of view, every person is an artist and society tends to repress this potentiality that we all have. Art can create a powerful and mysterious connection between people and break down barriers, prejudices, stereotypes.

​

Creativity is instinct, it's something indefinable, mysterious, a flash, a revealing and dazzling phenomenon. I mean art as the communication of the existential mystery, as a “declaration of war” against clichés. It's the revelation of chaos behind progress. It's an opposition to the state of things in order to create a new reality, new possibilities.

I’m attracted to the darker side of the human psyche, the unconscious dimension, the faces. With my illustrations, I want to reveal the irony and the paradox of modern life".
