There is always an empty space, unknown, behind the eyes of the observer: it is an unnoticed part of the universe. Art is an absolute metaphysical experience of being, an inner universe. It communicates to us through colors, shapes, vibrations and creates a connection between cultures and various realms of understanding. Our occult world, developed in different areas, can get to create a language capable of changing and improving our reality.
When the self is separated from the mind and connected to intuition and feeling, it realises itself. The artist becomes a scientist, inventor, continues to ask questions and tries to see the world from a different point of view. Like millions of different molecules, the thousand ideas of the artist intertwine with each other, creating a new and fantastic world. As for creation, there are no logical rules, but laws dictated by intuitions and our senses. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Art is a way to find ourselves. Art converges magic and variety in our lives. Art, in its thousand forms of manifestation, binds us to life.
Personally I believe that Nature shows itself as a form of perpetual life, which regenerates itself continuously. It is precisely with this belief that I want, through art, to express the existence of parallel realities. As in dreams, our inner self can travel in any direction, explore different realities.
After the ‘form’, what is absolute in our world, if not the abysmal void, the space? Space and form are the foundations of our universe. For us, what is absolute and is relative? For me, for example, finding our favorite color combination could be an absolute concept.
Then I dwell on the technology … I see the computes as a nervous system with prosthetics and sensors and I wonder how we can carry on the integration between Nature and Technology; microelectronics has already brought a new concept into art: ‘to copy without having an original copy’. This for me is a new paradox. As an artist, these are my questions. I use my mind to fly, surf, explore, google, create illusions and look for new levels of artistic expression that have not yet been explored.
