My first geometrical drawings even as a child were influenced by arabesques, a clearly abstract geometrical play with intense mystical character that defines the East and partly includes Greece. The geometrical element progressively dominated my work, defining its form, while much later I got to know the Bauhaus school which hence became a positive contribution in my study.

Most elements that compose my work derive from the observation of nature, my immediate surroundings and optical phenomena. Of these last, my interest lies mainly in the simple forms (for example, how light moves on different levels), and more rarely on synthetic forms.

Nature has laws. Basically that's what teaches me. The same events are recorded differently by the eye of each observer. What my own eye records is the beginning of my search and the continuation of another one that I have already started. At any event, the way I think and work is the outcome of an idea I have in my mind, and

not the result of a specific theory or observations which have helped me in the past.

Thus light, shadow, color, movement, perspective, space, matter, are the elements around which my observations take place, directly or even indirectly, as for example through photographic recording. The last interests me because it "sees" another visual aspect than that of the human eye, which works abstractively like visual memory.

I try to express myself with the greatest intensity possible, using few elements and often contradictory. Something which especially characterizes me is an intense sense of the fluidity in time. That's why I am prepared to interrupt my work for something else, in the thought that what is offered to me at every moment is irreplaceable. Life, the succession of events, require a free encounter.
