"The visible and perceptible (portraits, nudes, landscapes, still lives, interiors…) are only a mask that hides the diversity (beauty, nostalgia, sublime terror …) of the invisible, behind which the authentic and genuine reality is hidden. To detect this, situate, research and reveal in paint, pencil, charcoal or clay is my ultimate motive and objective."
