Old house

My work is characterised by being constantly evolving, and also by being light and imperfect, I try to capture moments in the same way I "erase" them. I call them ephemeral memories. There has always been a phrase that has accompanied my work and it is this: 'Every physical place has its own history. Each space that is part of our experience, comes to our mind not only with its architecture, but also with the personal memories of the lives lived there. Memories, with their evocative power, are an undeniable testimony of these past lives, which, relived with all the dramas, complexities and illusions of the present, will become future memories. They are unrepeatable instants of time that we keep in our hearts because we perceive places in relation to the memories we have of them". In this way, my work includes both photography and painting. I start with analogue photography, as I believe that the moment should be purely captured and not selected, and then I apply painting and then partially remove the elements from the photograph. The aim of the work is to leave identifiable traces, trapping memories and transforming them into matter.
