from the series “Catalogue”, oil, pencil and ink on paper, 2009.
Often my works seem to be very different one from each other. In some series the subject is figurative, in other cases the approach is abstract and conceptual. Sometimes those who look at my drawings confess that it’s hard for them to find something capable of bringing all together. I think that this is not a defect, but an advantage. My research focuses on the study of languages of representation and the study of their rules, and what happens by moving the rules from one language to another. For this reason the themes are so different. In these small works, a little 'joke, I tried to do a "product catalog", reducing in the same format all the themes of my research.
