My painting operates as a unified body of work, regardless of the period or the medium in which each piece was produced. The works share an internal coherence and a recognisable language, such that any single piece can stand as representative of the whole. My practice engages with the significant tradition of European painting, drawing on elements of modernism without being dependent on it. Mediterranean identity functions as an underlying condition, shaping light, rhythm, and the spatial structure of the work. The works do not seek immediate impact.Â
I stop painting when what is unnecessary has been removed and the work can stand on its own. The aim is not the spectacular, but the Beautiful, understood in its essential and timeless sense. The painting remains open to personal interpretation. Each work seeks to remain alive in the present, beyond the moment of its making.
