They are objects sometimes recovered in the street, photographed and painted as evidence of a human journey.In creating the works, the artist wants to highlight the effects of light, shadow and luster that are created on the different types of surfaces; so that the surrounding world is reflected on the object itself, creating a narrative within the narrative.The painter, like a magpie, is struck by what is shiny.
