I get position

Series description and interpretation
Gestures
After a period in which the body itself is the tool of painting and in which the eye, one’s vision, does not take part in the creative process, I began to understand that looking becomes part of the pictorial process. Vision becomes the means for knowing and for understanding. Metaphorically I begin to pull the skin from my body and position it in front of me. A relationship, a dialogue, with the frontal pictorial space is born. The works that belong to this series are signs left by the movements of my hand, my arm and my wrist.
