"Art Abstract, an Inner Journey" An abstract painting, for me, is to enter into a silent dialogue with what dwells. It is not a escape from the real, but a different way of living it, of feeling it, of transforming it. Where words stop, color begins to speak. Abstract art allows me to go beyond the mere representation of the visible world. What interests me is not to paint what I see, but how I feel. It is a language of shapes, textures, materials, where each gesture places a fragment of emotion on the canvas. "The texture as a starting point." Before the color, there is the matter. She's breathing, living, guiding me. By working on the texture, I seek the vibration of the relief, the rhythm of the gesture, the trace of the movement. It is a field of exploration where instinct takes precedence over reason. I let my hands dialogue with the canvas, without seeking to control, but to accompany what emerges. "When the color comes to life." Then comes the color, which arises, sometimes imposes itself, blends with the texture to create a fragile balance between strength and softness. Every shade has its language, its breath. Red, for example, carries energy, passion, sometimes injury. The white calms, opens a breathing space. In this encounter something arises — a raw emotion, a burst of life, a tension that becomes light. "A painting that speaks to the heart." The abstraction has this wonderful that it does not impose anything. She simply invites to feel. Everyone can find an echo, a vibration, an intimate resonance. My paintings do not tell a precise story: they leave to the eye the freedom to invent one, from what he carries in him. "An endless quest." Abstract painting is accepting never to really know where we're going. Each work is a research, an experience, a step further in self-understanding. It is an inner adventure, where the canvas becomes a mirror of the deepest emotions. Abstract art, for me, is not a style. It is a state of being, a way of inhabiting the world differently — with sensitivity, with intensity, with freedom.
