On The Way Home
I have always thought the way home has more beauty than the house itself. I was in constant motion between the city I inhabited, and the far-away home, both worn-out by the country’s “situation”. With it, I also carried a fantasy of a life probably more beautiful than it was. This applies to everything including the road.
So I left it and retraced my steps back to my home, memories, dreams, and nightmares.
As those that came before, living in their caves, I too fear the dark.
So I went in search of light, as someone trying to validate that darkness and brutality. It was there that I found myself justifying the dark with the light.
These paintings tell the tales of contradictions: absence and presence, dark and light, person and space, reality and shadow, life and death, the weight of age and flight of childhood, loneliness and wholesomeness.
