I am part of a story, although one still under construction. I believe that the simple act of living is political and the recording of life is the history we leave for future generations.

The now is pure nostalgia, we want to keep words, moments, feelings, record everything we can today for tomorrow; we live by our memories, without them we almost don’t exist. That’s why I keep, record, and collect moments. They’re like souvenirs of time, memories of a visited life, little daily remembrances eternalized in painting

My research comes from this nostalgic place, from the romantic idealization of the trivial, the ordinary, the banality. I feel that there is power in the common.

I see painting as an instant from a film, it is a fragment of a story in movement. They are digitally edited scenes, idealized in every detail, almost utopic, sometimes more truly felt than the reality from which they were extracted.

I sometimes feel suspended, observing other lives, other times, other stories. Like someone who peeks into a window and sees their own reflection on the glass, projecting their own image over someone else’s reality. For an instant, I am not myself anymore. I am the person on the other side, I am nobody, I am a mere spectator of private universes.
