Artist Comments
The obsession with conserving a piece of reality, that sometimes exists only in the mind, with recreating it according to the state of our own craziness, is something that we enjoy or suffer from, those whose existence is connected to a machine hanging from the neck. Some of us, prisoners of the laws of photography, want to escape and go further, touch it to provoke feelings and thoughts through paintings and materials, even if only for our own enjoyment.
