Artist Statement

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT DRAWING,IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF MY ART PRACTICE.THROUGH DRAWING I COLLECT INFORMATION AND SENSATIONS,IN THE HOPE OF TRAPPING THE ENERGY OF MY SUBJECT. IT IS THROUGH DRAWING THAT A COMPLEX NETWORK OF LINES COMBINE TO FORM THE RHYTHM IN MY WORK ,SOMETHING WHICH I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN .
RHYTHM IS EVERYTHING,BECAUSE ALL THE ELEMENTS IN THE DRAWING COMBINE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER,CREATING, TENSION AND UNITY.
FINALLY DRAWING HELPS ME DISCOVER THAT INVISIBLE THING CALLED THE SPIRITUAL.
