I am the son of two eras, the analogue and the digital one, I was initially fed by the cathode ray tube and then by the pixel. Very young I approached computer graphics and over the years many of its elements and concepts have entered my life and my artistic expression. On the web, in digital graphics and video editing, there is a pattern that represents non-color, transparency, emptiness. This gray and white checkered graphic pattern has become the basis of my work.
The means I use in my research include printing on Dibond and/or Forex with manual interventions, video and latest generation 3D printing.
The digital age we are living in has offered us a new "experience of the void": my research explores its conceptual and linguistic potential in the artistic field.
Define yourself as a human being using three adjectives.
According to your vision, where is contemporary art going and where would you like it to go?
Each era brings its contribution to art, allowing artists to experiment with new techniques and deal with new concepts, and this orientation towards experimentation with language favors the "evolution" of artistic expression.
