The research, which includes painting, sculpture, and artist’s books, focuses on exploring the mark of white and the archetypal, quantum, and spiritual meaning of the knot.
Data and contact details
In recent years, my research has focused on the archetypal, quantum, and spiritual meaning of the knot which, as a representation of something that precedes us—something at the origin—contains a small cosmos of energy waiting to be released. It encloses possible paths and trajectories to be undertaken; it is a material world whose roots also sink into myths and legends.
Thus were born the Contextus of the Contextere cycle—protruding paintings that resemble architectures, where sheets, transformed into ropes, tangle into white knots and networks. The weaving contains an aspect of infinity, because in infinite ways the threads intertwine, and the very act of making could unfold endlessly in the construction of this musical score that I use to symbolically represent the entire universe.
The knot, therefore, is an archetype where the individual and the cosmos, the particular and the universal, come together—and, at the same time, a symbol of the bond between human, environment, and animal, which for me is both a physical and spiritual connection.
With a knot, I am a non-separated quantum of the universe.
