Artistic Statement<\/strong>
The story of the line begins by watching his grandmother knit, with loops and repetitive patterns that remain indelibly etched in his memory. These patterns now appear in his works, adding images reminiscent of a fantastical sequence of puzzle pieces\u2014a puzzle with a beginning but no end, much like our lives. Ink is the material he handles most naturally, and he is fascinated by the textures created when two different materials\u2014Ink and Water\u2014merge. Each time, a chromatic world emerges that is distinct and unique. Inspiration comes from the beginning.<\/p>
