Artist Statement
Science, and its limitations, have always interested me. My work
is about all that science can neither describe nor reproduce.
It reflects on the mystery of human existence, embraces the
irrational, and points out the poetry of life at a physiological level.
The general flow of dynamics and of time is almost palpable in my
work. Everything is matter built with tirelessly moving particles,
which raises questions: How does one measure anything if the
object and the subject of the study are submitted to constant
change? How much can one know about reality, when everything
is perceived through the senses and analyzed by the brain, an
operation that creates a narrow but inevitable gap? We experience
the past, never the present.
My work addresses ambiguity, the dual nature of things, and the
state of confusion and wonder.
