All is in nature. All the beauty of the world too. In painting, we form a unit

with it, we fully immerse ourselves like contemplative people, we seek

to look and see with new eyes, free from any former knowledge, with

an almost mathematical precision; it is what we call figurative painting!

And then when we are in nature or in front of objects, we record

forms, colors, spaces and vacuums. In these empty spaces begin the

invisible , the inexpressible , the subtle and we enter the

abstraction gently!

There is no border between figurative and abstraction,

like the day and the night are held by the hand, there is merely a

transition from the analysis to the synthesis.

Then it is necessary to let ourselves be carried away and there the

painter enters the action.

The poet is describing with words what others can feel in their hearts

without managing to express it, the painter is saying with colors

the same things...

He dances with his colors, it is those very colors which carry him, with

space while trying to catch what floats around; because of this,

he is both the

witness and the servant of his time... He can be also a sculptor to model

the light, he can be..., he can be... However it takes years with being able

to lay down what he really wishes to express, that to have a perception of

what is in phase with himself, the emotional capacity to share it with the

whole world, with all the human beings, without distinction of time,

culture or sex ,without needing to speak, to see or to even understand

themselves. To touch universally , to transcend the human spirit,

to touch with cosmic dimension our being in the humblest possible way,

just with a graining brush or a knife...

I have the deep conviction that art is not useful , but that without it we

are nothing...
