Meaning that it is painting after painting, a visual proposal that is aware of the twentieth century foundation conquests, from abstraction to dripping and surrealism to informal, which, however, is striving to detach itself from them – and just utilize them as a means of technical know-how – so as to speak in a different way, convey the agony of a different era, such as the contradiction between the diffused crisis and ever present prosperity, the problem of reconstruction and illusionism that no longer saves the work of art, as well as our need of a painting that is new and ancient at the same time.
