There is a suggestion of an imaginary forest here which, due to the pictorial desire and engendering of organic forms, solicits a continuous creation of spaces. In the indefiniteness between vegetable and animal, a declared eroticism of forms becomes generalised. The continuous triangulation, at times distorted, strangulated and scratched, makes them expressive. The temperature of the colour that further amplifies this suggestion and the nocturnal luminosity contributes to the densified effect of the surface of the picture, which assumes itself to be living matter that associates the sensuality of the making and experimenting of materials with the purest eroticism.
