Land open cleared
The question we want to ask isabout the real dimension of our ignorance in front of the great dimension of the world, the one that remains closed in itself and that will probably never be revealed because when observed and studied it ceases to exist as it is
Fleeting Induction
The works in the "Fleeting Induction" series are inspired by the visual energy of the landscape that is represented through the idea of renewal and movement.The "Fleeting Induction" series raises the question that after all, the vision that someone might have of the world is always in constant reformulation. The fact of working by series is an attempt to deepen an idea through small variations and even between different series it is difficult to establish a clear limit. What seems to change is not so much the object of observation as the way in which one looks at it.
Ageless in the raw
"Now I'm interested in the plasticity of the landscape as a manifestation of that energy that permanently readjusts the balances of nature, I'm not exactly looking for a static image that represents a particular scenario. The aspect that I try to represent is more transitory, it's the state of change that constantly occurs in front of me."
The fact of spending more time in a place surrounded by raw nature, in a deserted territory, with almost no population, led me to focus my attention on the surrounding landscape and to dedicate more time to observing the nuances of that mountain scenery, occupied in realizing the vitality of nature and, above all, enjoying the immense variety of colors and shapes, as if I were immersed in a large installation created by giants.
IDENTITY
AS TOPOGRAPHY OF PLACES
Observing the landscape is a learning process that goes beyond the casualness of what presents itself to our eyes as the reality of the senses, there is a layer of consciousness that is built as an experience of a symbolic and mythical nature that has been created over time.

Finisterra Experience
The representation of the landscape is very interesting because it is not limited to a physical space, it has fundamentally to do with the perception of a place in a certain context and this environment can in practice include everything that has to do with the relationship between the observer and the nature. There are some sites that are very important in my relationship with the oceanic landscape, Ponta do Sal is one of those sites, it contributed to building a model of this relationship and what is the concept of finisterra, the limit where we have our back to the continent facing this surface of water that stretches to the horizon.
