Bowl Sequence

Work description and interpretation
This work had been conceived for a chapter of my website: "Forming the colour". The palette is reduced to a minimum. There is only one place where the colour is formed: the bowl. Every day in my studio I head towards it and add a colour to the one left over from the day before. I never use a pure colour; I always start from what I find inside the bowl. What I find is what is left over from the day before once I have painted on a canvas. Every day I add a new colour, slowly transforming it over time. The substance changes, is consumed and does not accumulate. It is always renewed. The bowl never empties but is always alive and wet. It is like keeping a plant alive. There is only one bowl but there are lots of canvases.
