2 Statement Abstraction for me means a way of thinking. In a contemporary world submerged on very fast technology developments and communication improvements our everyday life seems to be immediate and distant at the same time. Most of our experiences are passed through abstract processes that have come to change our interpersonal relationships and everyday perceptions. Very strong patterns and structures underlay our behaviour, and I think they are able to endless repeat themself unless we start to acknowledge them. With Geometric Abstraction in my work I set up metaphors of the way these patterns work. Abstraction itself is a cognitive process that can allow us to transform our immediate context just changing the way we read and perform it. Being aware is the clue.

6 Tower IV. Polyptich I Acryllic on canvas I 270 x 70 cm. I 2016 Set up II I 150 x 160 cm. The transformation of light in different hues is obtained by mixing just two main colors between them and white. The idea of tower put into question the vertical position understood as hierarchy. As they are polyptichs, the work is conceived to be set up in different compositions according to the context and space in which they re shown.

9 Magic trick box I Mural I CIE, Berlin I 200 x 263 x 32 cm. I 2015 This is a commissioned Mural. My aim was to suggest a kind of open door to a multidimensional reality in the middle of such a sordid and iced corridor.

10 Psychodellic UFO I Mural I Rockland Residency Program, Seattle USA I 600 x 168 cm. I 2016

11 Psychodellic UFO I Mural talk presentation I Rockland Residency Program, Seattle USA I 2016 Due to the slope street and the very horizontal surface to be painted it was a challenge to conceive this piece. I decided to keep a sense of instability in the work by setting its own horizontal line independent from the ground, and raising an ambiguous perspective. I used the title as a clue for the viewer. It depends on where you are staring, you can see a landing UFO or a taking off UFO.
