The Artwork

Transparencies.

The most authentic everyday life is elevated to an artistic composition. Transparent grocery bags, overflowing with newly purchased fruit, find a temporary resting place upon a stone step. Oil color sculpts the reflections of plastic with extreme virtuosity, creating a visual short circuit between the lightness of modern material and the gravity of the ancient surface.

The artwork freezes a familiar instant, transforming a habitual gesture into a meditation on time. The coldness of the stone welcomes the warmth of natural hues, revealing how even the most fleeting moment can harbor an unsuspected visual poetry.

The artist's voice

"Nothing is mundane when observed in the proper light. Even an everyday gesture, abandoned upon a stone, can conceal the eternal pursuit of beauty."
