I welcome you into my excess.

But don’t get me wrong, this excess comes from the full enjoyment of my creative and formal limits.

I’m not particularly articulate so you will find some dead ends.

More than just collecting images, I think I’m collecting forms, details that have an almost trance effect while working on them. It’s a slow process, one more related to oil painting. The more I work on an image the more I realize that everything happens on the surface. But then, there is the material aspect of things, the paper for instance, where the ink sinks in and finds another surface. In this process I find an in between like the words that are placed on the image. The work seems like a congregator of different times.

Here time is out of joint…there is a sort of an alienating feeling that comes to mind, that of not belonging, that poses no solution. Strangely I find it more liberating, as it frees us from identification, it makes us foreign at the same time that it embraces the foreign.

I’ll have to admit to you – illusions fascinate me – as the magician that pulls out a rabbit from his hat that once seemed empty – this is the play, the trick of the senses.

Your unconscious may enjoy it more than you are aware of.

I leave you here, any questions? I’ll be around.
