Artistic Direction's Advice
Art Gallery III Millennium

Light and sublime composition, the artist loves to transpose music into image and image into abstraction. These entities float into music wired by a vital circuit that gives them rhythm and harmony without it they would not survive.

The vital circuit's beating is proved from coloured emissions, they follow rhythm and harmony and are like pleasure spasms that spread into music enlarging the good effects. You have the clear sensation that the whole vibrates as a secret diapason with pleasure's tonalities.

Work is not simbolic; it is the aesthetic gratification for beauty, it is the research of cosmos that holds and reacts to pleasure, spreading it. It is a great content: simply intense and penetrating. The composition is made with syntesis and charm and it reveals a deep cultural preparation and great interests variety.
