Oriundos da tradição pictórica de representação paisagística, mas elevados à experiência da mesma em detrimento da sua mera reprodução, estes registos são memórias de paisagem interiores, onde o tempo do fazer é reflexo da sua inerente contemplação. O processo, assim como um mantra, procura atingir outros níveis de consciência embora o resultado seja traduzido em objecto de repetição, apagamento e diluição, dos motivos que originaram o seu próprio começo.

Derived from the pictorial tradition of landscape representation, but elevated to the experience of it at the expense of its mere reproduction, these records are memories of landscape inland, where the time of the making is a reflection of its inherent contemplation. The process, like a mantra, seeks to achieve others levels of consciousness although the result is translated into a subject of repetition, deletion and dilution of the reasons that led to his own start.

Aside from formulating a question or attempting to promote a discussion, unaware of sociology or philosophic matters and not regarding about themes concerning the same issue, my reactions promote a visual adding that can be regarded primarily as a dissolved attempt to reflect my motivations.
“There are feelings and emotions that you obtain trough out your life from sublime experiences that once reached its impossible to live otherwise without revisiting them as many times as possible”
In order to give back or to pay, sensitively, for those almost ultra-dimensional experiences, the only way available is trough creative ands artistic processes, also it’s the only possibility of combining a body of work and still experience the freedom that triggers such reactions.
The search is inner and imminent, always like a walk in the border of the abysm; the cry scream of a shadow impels you to embrace it and the glory warmth sun light holds you back to delay it just a bit more.
A part of my doings recall those misty white fogs, those gentle trembles like scarce vibrations trough your skin, a thought of a moment just now lost and an attempt to find it again. A vertigo shadow glimpse.
Also there´s a religious factor in it, a meditative and mantra state of being, who offers the result in the delay of the work process, combining opposite forces and different atmospheres to reassume an external might.
