EXHIBIT

“Everyone who does productive mental work depends on the unconscious. The unconscious premeditates all new thoughts and all new combinations. And when the consciousness approaches the unconscious with a desire, it has already been the unconscious that has inspired it.”

-Carl Jung

All works of art result from a creative process; nothing happens randomly and no piece of art is merely a gift of the muses. The path to mature an idea is a long one, inspired and backed by a depth of readings, sketches, work, life and soul experiences, all which nurture the unconscious’ flowerings.

The bronzes in the exhibition “Bipeds” are a collection of beastly figures (“Bestiario”) in which the human psyche’s transformation unfolds as if in an internal confrontation of the being; like an unending battle, an eternal search, a journey with no destination port through the dark valleys of Hades, advancing as if in the windy loneliness of Estigia in the midst of cold and withering shadows of unconsciousness. The artistic proposal of each of my pieces is a transformative light that shines with a renewed attitude towards life.
