Artist Statement

Art is a form of expression, a powerful one. We as people feel the need to express ourselves and our thoughts in our society, and this is exactly why I started making art. There is no limit in art; you have the utmost freedom as possible at all. There is no one telling you what to do or why you do it. I make art just because I feel to do so.

Freud refers to Art as a way to encounter the experience of suffering in life, and I completely agree with him. Life is harsh. There are lots of difficulties and impossibilities. After having looked for an escape from the brutal life, my last destination was Art. It made me forget the existence of impossibilities and offered me such a strong apparatus to fight against the difficulties I have in life. I realized that everything is possible with art.

Time to time I fly through the skyscrapers of New York City; I start running from the beginning of the Chinese great wall until the end of it; I sometimes dive into a volcano, looking for diamonds; I even live like a fish without no memory. In art, there is no suffering but only happiness. It is where Cabe and Able still live in peace forever. There is no infant or poor. The people of art never heard of politicians or dictators, because with Art, everything is possible and there is no suffering.

If Art is a drug, let it intoxicate me until I die.
