“For me, the universe is full of origins, of different processes. One of these origins and respective process is a blank canvas. From these creative processes emerged two collections that we have on display here today, although not in their entirety: the collection “Raízes” and the collection “Orgânico”. These collections and the other works that accompany them, address something very profound, with a certain enigmatic character (the enigmas of life), almost as if they represented the different structures and plans that we know, such as social, psychological, political, physical, emotional, referring us to a puzzle where different pieces are fitted together, removed or reconfigured. These two collections and other works lead us to a questioning position: what is essence? The immaterial? What is the source, the origin of feelings and emotions? Reason or emotion? They seek to express, after constant search of shapes and lines, points and colours, that something that is in a raw, pure state, ready to be transformed. And here we return to the beginning of the process, we return to the origin.”
