Translucent Delight represents a meditation and the structural impermanence of our world. The painting stares at us, judges us, questions us… Where are you? The solemn silence of a deserted palace, where transparency seduces matter in a play of shadow and light. Who will be delighted? The one on the plate, or the one who watches?

Each of my paintings is a birth, the fruit of a long gestational process. Time stretches as a tenuous thread between the present and eternity, seeking the slightest breach in which to sow doubt. Saturated pigments, transformed into softly rigid, glossy matter, anchor themselves to the linen, and through the assemblages of miniature sculptures form a dark yet extremely luminous narrative.
