I divide my works in three groups that push in different investigative-expressive directions : Sensorial Topology, Multicellular and Complementary.
A topology, in matematics, is an entity that discribes a set shape, listing its subsets.
Works belonging to Sensorial Topology are those where body or its parts compares and in witch I represent sensations and emotions in all their phisicity, foresmuch as emotion coincides with emotion site. I believe that emotions - sensations are the way throughout the body dialogues with itself. In continuous exchange and elaboration with outside and inside, this complex system is anithing but perfect and well adapted. Often it binds, it doesn’t recognize its own signals, it mystify them. I draw and paint as a synecdoche the crisis that can come from. My works treat conscience states and blue funks. In Sensorial Topology there are also two videos: one about anxiety and the other about being mother.
Multicellular is the set where I enclose all the paintings representing unicellular beings, similar to amoeba, and a video realized with Flash animation where this sort of amoeba moves and grows.
Works belonging to Complementary are all the others: cosmological, biological, chemical, mathematical. It emerges fascinations of my scientifical studies , amazement in front of the thin edge between life and not-life, emotion in front of the beauty of science, mystery of the opening of new horizons of thought.
