For me, drawing is a thought in movement, it is my form of knowledge, which moves from one surface to the other; They are all forms of the same adventure where sometimes one stops one’s gaze on a nearby shore and one listens to the distant vibration of a memory or one finds deep words of those that leave a mark and at the precise moment when one believes one has reached some point. place, everything changes again and is transformed. The drawing comes from the most urgent need to transit and inhabit space and time, enveloping us in an infinite labyrinth that loses all types of certainties at every step and plunges us into the mysterious forms that border between reality and fiction.
