The style of our epoch can be surprising for its chaotic look. And yet I would like to come down to earth, come into contact with reality, create organic, living forms because art can no longer (today less than ever) become dehumanized. I think that the separation between abstraction and figuration must be overcome and reality should be focused from a different perspective, by finding it within its subjective and intimate truth.
