Pictures are things, which have been marked with all the stigmata of personhood; they exhibit both physical and virtual bodies; they speak to us, sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively. They present not just a surface, but also a face that faces the beholder.

W.J.T Mitchel “What Do Pictures Really Want”

In my work I face the canvas as a body and the body as a canvas, a continuous play between the three dimensional body and the two dimensions of the canvas.

The canvas / body becomes impressed by physical action, fragments of behavior, movement and immobility, the laws of inertia. The total of these impressions (visible and invisible) give autonomy of the work of art, which as a body now impresses itself on the viewer.

The balancing of the body as space and the space of the canvas is not a clear equation between positive and negative space. The two dynamics of the body and the canvas create a continuous movement in quest of dominating the place of the work of art. The embodying of one space into the other as well as the play of the body, which becomes canvas and the canvas that becomes body, give place to the space of the work of art.
