The quest for the Place that could bring us back to peace is the generator of life energy and until such a space is found, we deal with the fear of not being there. Our senses avidly filter the physical world to collect colors, shapes, sounds, odors, searching elements that our brains could process to build this ultimate place. In this never-ending balancing act between the figurative world of our sensations and the neuronal abstraction of our chemical brain, Art is the powerful tool for unveiling the unconscious and bridging the gap between matter and the core of our soul. My work from the early 80s has always been about searching the threshold of the image where shapes and colors free themselves from representation to invite the viewer into a passage to his or her own essence. Human bodies morphing into landscapes become objects, dwellings, cities and bodies again in a wakening journey back Home.
