Catalogue Note

“Painting is a battlefield. It´s true that you don´t see many painters and sometimes think that painting is removed from our time, but to me it seems that the degree of commitment of the gaze in a painting is so enormous, so demanding, so important that it gives me the impression that painting is the best kept secret. There is nothing more contemporary than painting. A painting as a battlefield about what is, what is not, what ought to be, what I like, what I hate, what I love.”
