Diagram number 7

 

An original piece from the series “Diagram”, oil on thick paper, 48 x 29 cm, 2023 (original sold).

In my youth at the school, certain lessons were inevitably boring. When the distraction peered, inadvertently I began to scribble the pages of the books, filling with drawings their blank borders. The hour of history, or philosophy, gave easy ideas: I copied the portraits of philosophers illustrating the beginning of each chapter in the textbook. The math class gave beautiful diagrams: their geometries structured the space, providing backgrounds to fill with decorations, figures, pictures. Maybe it was the insight that those same geometries hid a sort of aesthetics, an inexplicable and axiomatic beauty, like when we are aware of it in front of nature, without being able to give it an explanation. This sort of drawings make me think of a kind of prayer, a repetitive but pleasant action, like the work of an embroiderer, like a spider weaving its web.

A lazy afternoon

Three individuals, two standing and one sitting, are depicted in front of a large window with a scenic view. They are dressed in colorful, striped shirts and handling small sailboats near a bowl containing a red fish. This original painting is available for sale at the price of 2300 US$, shipping included.

Memory of Essaouira

 

From the series “Houses on the water”, oil on thick paper, 60 x 35 cm, 2023.

In this series of paintings I try to blend together the architectural and monumental elements of a place or a city. It’s a bit like recalling to memory a journey made in the past: it will produce many confused and overlapping images. The title of the series wants to reclaim the idea of a fluid memory, moved like water, and confused like a mirage. These original paintings are available for sale at the price of 480 US$ each one, shipping included.
