The works I do have spills of colour. I maniacally engage in the mental landscape and I discover chaos, but it's my chaos and I embrace it and release it …..splash!
I'm obsessed with color and animals. I paint animals which do not pretend to be real but that seek an impossible or forbidden enjoyment from the gaze. I remember what Heidegger said “Das Ding”...the thingness of things… which has nothing to do with anything but has to do with everything.
I draw and paint using different materials that make up the scene, engaging in a conversation between things that appear and play, not knowing why it is right or wrong. I usually start drawing in charcoal, then I compose with pastel, acrylic or watercolour and the figures or animals and the planes that contain them begin to appear. I love Degas’ pastels, if he had chosen Sennelier to create a series of non existent colours I would gladly follow. I prefer all my materials to be Sennelier.
