Statement: DURING
MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER BEEN HUNGRY OR THIRSTY.
I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO SIT AND TO LOOK AT THE
HORIZON. WHEN I SPENT MY TIME ELSEWHERE I MISSED
THE OPPORTUNITY. With the help of pastels to
create initial drawings, my faithful oil colours,
other mediums to add coat after coat, and a
final touch with wax, I try to stop time, light
and shadows. I try to chase the fleeting moment
that in real time makes everything follow suit.
That moment that revels the perfect length and
width between day and night, the moon and the
stars. I know that I have embarked upon the
world but I have not yet arrived. I am scaling
enormous stairs steps each with a plateau allowing
me to observe, develop, correct, be gratified
and depart for the next. When I reach the end
of the stairs I will eventually be able to comprehend
if the horizon is a simple line in our lives
or a simple shading where the sea becomes the
sky.'
