Description
Transparent wings like dream veils frame the scene. A red point of vital passion, echoing the color of the dragonfly, stands out like a last flame in an eternal twilight. The dragonflies represent the very essence of being: a moment suspended between form and dissolution, in which fragility transforms into supreme beauty and time bends to the geometry of the soul. In this metaphysical space, life celebrates its ephemeral glory, reminding us that the deepest truth resides precisely in impermanence.

My artistic practice consciously moves in an area of undecidability, inhabiting that liminal space where photography, drawing, painting and writing converge in an uninterrupted dialogue. I do not consider this hybrid approach as a simple sum of techniques, but as the affirmation of a poetics that recognizes its generative core in the tension between different languages. Although my works present manual interventions, geometric signs and material stratifications, I consider them fundamentally post-photographs as they maintain a profound connection with the indexical nature of the photographic medium. This media ambiguity is not indecision, but an active semantic strategy.
I am particularly interested in what Jacques Rancière defines as athoughtful image, an entity that does not simply illustrate a pre-existing thought, but constitutes a magnetic field charged with unresolved tensions, resistant to univocal meanings. The work thus becomes a space of perpetual oscillation between apparently opposite polarities: technological automatism and manual gesture, documentation and creation, material presence and conceptual abstraction.
My creative process reflects this threshold condition: photographic elements are deconstructed and recontextualized, but never completely denied; pictorial interventions assert their materiality without erasing the underlying photographic trace; geometric signs impose a visual order that dialogues with the organic complexity of the captured image; words insinuate themselves between the visual layers, not to explain them but to amplify their ambiguity.
This hybrid practice mirrors our contemporary reality, culturally and technologically fragmented, where images, texts and data constantly mix. I am not interested in resolving this ambiguity, but in consciously inhabiting it in a contemporary landscape, where distinctions between artistic disciplines become increasingly porous.
