Playing War. Proposing a foray into a universe of urban outskirts or abandoned battle grounds, in which human footprints leave behind devastating impacts. Also inspired by the aesthetics of strategy games, particularly board games, the canvas became a board, oscillating between the concept of a Playground, present in older works, and that of a Battleground. Out-of-use, discarded and broken objects, elements born on the spot or pop art inserts, all come together in a story of their own, bordering on magic. Intense colours predominate throughout, from which the most common and transformative element is fire.
