Artist Statement
I work on the light easel, applying translucent brown packing tape
on clear Plexiglas panels, the layers built up to create degrees
of opacity. My main motivation is my love for classics. The images
are archetypes derived from the cultural heritage: art, architecture,
movies. I am trying to be faithful to the source, but in the process
of interpretation all kinds of things happen. The reason is submerged
in the shadows, the purpose is absorbed by the light, the cultural
icon has become the personal experience.
