RACE

2020 / 2023

Work in progress. Once again experimenting with dynamic image and still image at the same time. By playing with portraits that possess a personal resonance, relationships occur that generate new images.
I nurture the simplicity of basic visual elements: the circle, the triangle and their relationships.
I trace the symbolic: JERUSALEM as a symbol of the final destination common to all men. The FLAG in the wind as the imperative human need for identity, individual and collective. The EYE, as an inescapable filter of knowledge and in need of purification.
I am advancing in assimilating the universal that shapes and unites us.

COCKTAILS

03-2018 / 05-2019

The strength of the experience of being an inseparable mixture of Reality and Mystery, after the drunkenness that followed making me a regular at Dostoevsky’s Cocktail Bar, gives rise to a metaphorical series of images. Cocktails plays with decontextualized images and relates them. It shows visually what it would be verbally:

Like the Gin and the Tonic in a Gin and Tonic, 
Is the Mystery and the Reality in Man 

Phases of the project:

10 2018 Article published in CANIBAAL Magazine: Gin-Tonic de Realismos y Playa
02 2019 Exhibition in Colombia Pavillion, Seville
03 2019 Lounge of the series of Digital Printing works in my studio in London

DOSTOEVSKYJ: ABITARE IL MISTERO

11 2016 / 04-2017

In a new attempt to show the Visual Art as a way of knowledge, the work produced with the occasion of the Congress DOSTOEVSKYJ: ABITARE IL MISTERO, is framed in the year of the Centenary of the Russian Revolution of 1917. It has been presented in a forum of reflection dialogued from an interdisciplinary perspective: Is there in Dostoevsky’s anti-moralist narrative a key to overcoming the anti-moralist nihilism of the postmodern era? Is still his way of unraveling the mystery of the human being able to speak to us today?

Phases of the project:

11 / 12 2016 Photography and Video Recording in Mombasa, Kenia.

01 / 02 2017 Paintings. London.

04 / 2017 International Conference at the Pontificia Universitá Della Santa Croce. Paper&Screening and Paintings Exhibition.

LOOKING AT THE TREE OF LIFE

02-2014 / 12-2015

This project investigates, via the creative process, the concept of EBRIETAS: The knowledgable gaze and the gaze of knowledge.

I title this project Looking at the Tree of Life, as a way to express the beauty of the call of the Tree of Life is an invitation. If we want to maintain the look, the intensity of nostalgia grows within us, and with it hope.

I have come to discover how the calling of the Tree of life has left a tangible impression on each culture. Its presence crosses the boundaries of time and space: Hom, Iggdrasil, Izata, Kabala, White tree, Plaksha…. It is a universal calling, a channel by which the universal is expressed in the particular.

Phases of the project:

02 / 07 2014 Paintings. West Sussex Residence. London.

01 / 06 2015 Movie Recreating paintings. Sevilla.

09 / 12 2015 Graphic pieces: Repetitions and variations of meaning.

YOUTH IN ACTION European Union Programm YT7-PYWMOB

11-2012 / 06-2013

Youth dealer in an Educational and Cultural Program to introduce youth immigrants to London’s cultural environment, encouraging an understanding of art and performance and fostering mutual understanding and communication between teenagers from countries across the world.

POETRY AS VISUAL LANGUAGE

12-2012 / 12-2013

Working in my studio in London exploring the poetic dimension in visual language combining video and painting and developing video-art and digital-art as an approach of abstraction in painting.

The project used classic/contemporary topics as reference/research points eg “Ut Pictura Poesis” (applying it to our digital era), “A-live metaphor” Paul Ricoeur and Aesthetics of four Taoist thresholds (Empathy, Vital Rhythm, Reticence, Emptiness).

Exhibition in C26, The  Biscuit Factory Space on December 2013.
