In the beginning there was a circle ...


Drawing circles for me is not just an esthetic process. Unlike Jasper Johns 
who drew circles and called them "Target", following American pop art
iconography, one that was grounded in materialism or consumerism. 
For me circles have a metaphysic expression, related to the desire to
present an abstract reality, one that illustrates a symbol that is at the 
origin of creation and reproduction.  In all our scientific inquiries, we
find the circle at the center of every discovery. Our entire universe revolves 
around geometric concepts where the circle is at the origin of everything 
from the big bang theory to the molecular concept of the atom.


As an artist profoundly interested in all aspects of mysticism, it is a world 
that I am constantly fascinated by, what is the meaning of the circle ?  
The notion of infinite , the idea of defying time, defying death by the 
inclusion of colors in the process of painting circles enables my imagination
to create these immeasurable worlds where energy, time and space
commingle to create a holistic harmony that result in the interpretation
of life itself.
