A painting is an open-ended question. Germinating from a constant conflict between abstraction and representation, my work delves on ideas surrounding utopias, control, and becoming. Allowing the painting to emerge without a prescribed meaning or result, I negotiate elements of both conscious and unconscious visual thinking, rather than attempting to duplicate or portray experiences directly onto the artwork. Images materialize and fade through squeegee, paintbrush, and sanding. It is a process of controlled jeopardy, which gives way to psychologically charged spaces of contemplation and projection. Although never preconceived, my paintings frequently manifest horizons - carrying often-ambiguous analogies of utopian nature. The work searches for no answer but for an opening, an attempt of un-concealing oneself; and by extension, the world. Both painting and utopia are processes - changing, deliberative. And this process of continuous search for an elusive north is what dictates the dynamics of my pictorial space.
