My idea of painting as an artistic expression is to offer the viewer an open window to the realm of imagination, without giving all the answers but offering multiple and diverse visual confrontations instead. I do not intend to control all the elements that constitute a piece of work, I like to let chance play its role too. I think I need to surprise myself first with a color, a texture or a shape in order to be able to produce the same effect on the viewer. This “unexpected” element, integrated in the totality of the work, is what gives the image an aura of mystery and makes us wonder what could be there beyond the visually obvious. This dialog between viewer and painting is what gives totality to the work, the answers found being individual and unique.
