A painter out of his time. For many years he has been painting objects and shapes captured on the border between life and death, as great painting has always done … The onset of light on the ruins of the world and of time: abandoned garages, disused stores, empty workshops with broken tiles, walls from which signs have been detached but their absence still continues to pulse through the filtering of light in the world, deserted railway stations with tracks leading to who knows where, or nowhere, truck tires, pylons, car carcasses left along the side of the road or in junkyards, still and brave in their last chemical metamorphosis and their extreme and bare beauty. This is not hyper-realism or a realistic parody of “reality”, but painting with vision and appearance. A religious painter, a painter of icons. Sacred art.
