TESTIMONIANZE

The human being has many needs. One of these is the need to experiment. Hence, I am draw to the use of natural materials like earth, sand and stone. Then come the growing need for freedom of expression, without following any preordained schema. The third need is to pay heed to everything which concerns emotion, feeling and perception. More than representing an object or concept. I am fascinated by expressing all that these arouse. This is why I seek to translate and liberate the vast, inextricable and impalpable, transcendental  and emotional world. By emotion, I do not simply mean that “thrill” which enters the core of our being, but also all that it is possible to capture, which remains indefinable, all those nuances which are prompted by intuition but escape reason. Art is a need, a necessity.

The light blue sped away, pursued by an intense dark blue. Grey remained calmly aside, but it was red which grew ever more grandiose and provocative. Where are they going in such a hurry? Do not weak the sleeper! She did not remember where she had seen her before, but had certainly met. The sand fell slowly but steadily. A band of light came in to preferring to continue to touch it. With the tips of her fingers she made the grains flow in the desired direction. The shadows seemed soft. Sometime, she would have liked to throw a handful into the air let it fall in a random pattern. The red had faded into pale pink and the grey easily enveloped it. She plunged in her fist and seized a handful. She laid a little, in stages, around the white, heaved a sigh, put out the light and left.
