When I start painting a subject in which I discover something interesting, I feel the urge to work a lot on it.
To experiment you have to accept to make mistakes, to take risks, then among the many failed things, something is born for which I say: here is something beautiful, to be saved! And that’s how I proceed when I work.
In this small work on paper I was very struck by the contrast between the blue of the sky and the almost ashen black of the city. I find myself in that black ash because sometimes my heart is a bit like that. The redeeming element for me is always the color, which allows me to get out of my rubble and literally makes me look to a wider horizon.
The threads have a life of their own made up of relationships, in which many situations intersect and intertwine. It is we who try to hold on to feel more loved.
Happy Monday and good week everyone!
