Statement
Art, my greatest love. With him I talk, I play, I get distracted, I connect, I learn, I navigate, I find myself. With art I expand my soul and my essence. He is a great partner. In moments of clarity, and of total chaos too. Of joy and frustration. He centres me. I don’t remember the moment when I was able to see through him for the first time. But I know it was a turning point in my life. Now I can fly with my ideas and return to the present to download them. Art for me is a great collage. We put together experiences, sensations, desires. We can unify everything. Because everything is process. Thanks to my artistic side, today I can embrace my shadows and the per-fection behind them. Thank you for allowing me to share you, merge you in every way, for the tranquillity, the present you give me, and above all for being able to transmit to you. And that part is amazing. You can move someone else’s world; you can resonate with another being. I thank art for being a great channel of the spirit, language of the soul, expression of freedom and breaking the mind.
