FLECKLES

Every picture is an independent entity, without links with the outer elements. They are done with the seven colours from the body's centres. The Painting expression is done by variations between the amount and the quality of every colour by a chromatic opposition to these wich surround it.
The eye runs in the following picture according to a well determined " trace de relation", called "Simultaneous form", studyed in detail by our teacher Johanes Itten, in his treatise about the Art of colours. This composition effect depends on the character, the direction, and the space between the 'Simultaneous forms'.
The choose of the colours, their intensity, their quantity on the canvas; make arise an order and an appearance, really gripping. From violent colours almost undiluted, are put on freckles on the canvas, I seek to paint a work where the glance runs, loses his way until to give us a huge feeling of peace. Because the freckle never are in contact with the edge of the canvas, that creates the dynamic effect which I seek.
The only goal of my work is to give you a touch of colour in your inner and in your life as well, and, perhaps, some happiness.

"The one who can see in the pictures by Piero della Francesca, by Rembrandt, by Breughel, by Césanne, and many others, but the subject, the pattern, and the symbol's contain, remains closed to their strength and to their beauty."
