“To abstract is also to reduce to a single concept, to an ideal expression, a whole sum of natural sensations present in us and in things. It is in the visual world that my painting seeks forms in order to organize and balance them on the surface of the canvas. At the same time, it appears abstract to me in that it is linked to a personal and ideal perception of my surroundings.

The geometric composition, made up of horizontals and verticals, allows me to express the internal stength, the order that I perceive in the material world, with color, dictated by temperament, being my most intimate means of feeling present in the painting.

The modern painter is not content with merely portraying the appearance of things, but wants to reach their essence through different angles. Modern painting is fundamentally different from ancient painting, not on an external level, not so much in the way of painting, but in the way of thinking, that is, of seeing things simultaneously from various points of view. Finally, he analyzes and synthesizes the facts.”
