Why I am a painter
Painting and music: I have been attracted to them since I was just a boy.
Suggestions and past moments emerge and I made the conscious discovery that I can give them a shape.
The need to express beauty, harmony, atmosphere and the presence of light is something fundamental for me.
My enthusiasm for the discovery of new techniques brings me continuous pleasurablesensations that keep my natural bent for painting alive.
