Leaving a trace, passing the baton.
Reaching out to someone I will probably never meet, trying to narrate the world from my point of view, beyond space and time.
This is the pressing motivation I feel when I think about art.
An in-depth journey to uncover and understand – often a painful journey, never comfortable- a journey of awareness, suffering and joy.
A sublime thought, a constellation of courage, disorientation and a constant attempt to approach the idea of truth, trying to reach the essence of life and its revelation.
