The so-called “still life” has been the focus of my work for many decades. In the beginning I was fascinated by the materiality of inanimate objects as subject matter and I embarked into a contest with the grand masters I admired and emulated.
What an artistic epiphany it was for me when my paintbrush refused to replicate the well-known and gave new life to the world around. My journey was transformed into a carnival of the imaginary. I became Pygmalion, creating vibrant life in unmovable things. This Imaginary objects collection captures for me the ambivalence of life, of soul and matter, as the shapes depicted move aimlessly in time and space. They are always in flow, guided by the eternal optimism for the future and whispering tales of multifaceted and metamorphic lives, liberated towards the never-ending quest for aesthetic immortality.
