My work is the result of the rhythmic repetition of the same circular gesture that leaves a mark on the surface of the canvas. The repetition of this gesture creates a weave on the pictorial surface. Thus, the final image is the result of overlapping layers of painting that give the rise to an infinity of subtle variations in colour and depth games.

    My art is directly related to another facet of my life, music. As a pianist and musical performer I translate the signs of a score in a choreography of movements on the keyboard that lead to sound. In the case of painting the choreography of movements, gestures creates the marks on the canvas.

    The term étude (study) comes from the musical field. In music an study is a piece intended to work a specific problem (usually technical) which translates into a gesture, a concrete physical movement. Usually, studies are built around a single musical material, rhythmic and melodic patterns which are repeated with slight variations, and create a continuous musical writing that visually reminds one of a tapestry.

    On the other hand, the superposition of the aforementioned painting weavers, recalls the contrapuntal musical writing, composition technique where independent melodies overlap in a polyphonic texture.

    The viewer will find in my art a sensual work in which a deep sense of colour invites to the scopic pleasure. Also, the textures created by the repeated addition of paint layers in a move that is perceived as biased view of the eternal immerse the viewer in a yearning for a tactile contact.
