From the series “Eyes”, oil and pencil on
paper, 20 x 20 cm, 2014.
I've always been attracted by the
eyes, and by the sensuality that comes from the attempt to represent their liquidity,
transparency, shadows and shades of colors. Drawing the eyes is a simple
exercise, but it lends itself to endless variations. On this subject I apply my
obsession for decoration, and so I try to investigate what is the limit beyond
which the subject of the drawing is no longer the eye, but the decoration
itself. The small size allows me to combine a simple subject to a decoration
exasperated. The choice of the eyes stems from the idea of the makeup, which is
basically a form of decoration.
