“Look in between the piano keys, where there is neither black nor white”

I enjoy going to art exhibitions.

I follow this rule: I stop and study an artwork in depth when, without any previous explanation, it intrigues and excites me. If that’s not the case, it means that at that time it’s not fit for me.

When I think of the word “project”… rather inflated, I think of something that endures over time, that makes me culturally grow, that represents a challenge, and that can be appreciated in the same way by a child, and by en elder. Exciting emotions (positively and negatively) is an intrinsic ability of the Artist, his way of communicating.

That’s either there, or it isn’t.

That’s it.

These are the projects that I believe in, and in which I am directly involved:
