Birds of a feather
Birds of a feather When words did not exist, and the ancestor Homo Erectus communicated with the hands, the alliance of technical and social intelligence gave birth to the modern human brain. The creator of the biface, Homo erectus or Homo ergaster, bears...

Tanzanian figures
Tanzanian figures (2011) I read that for Giacometti, copying was the best way to realize what he saw. He had the immediate desire to copy all the works that attracted him the most, and this pleasure of copying had, in fact, never left him again. For me,...

The Four Selves
Unfired clay is the art of the poor. It is marginalized in our modern age. How to produce a sculpture from raw clay, which is by nature extremely friable and could potentially disintegrate in humid conditions? Clay was used in ancient times to form images...

The Fragility Within
磨 杵 成 针 We can imagine what is real, created, and tangible, but can we imagine what is uncreated? We are hungry for the Unknowable, for what escapes human knowledge. Image, intention, flexibility. One, two, three! Art is a therapeutic act. In my daily...

In the back of my mind (side)
Art is a mirror in which an image of ourselves is reflected, a sort of twinship: a body with two heads, a fish with two heads, a double face, an asymmetrical representation of ourselves. Art is a double act which consists of materializing the idea while...

Prehistoric-Neolithic inspiration

Wollisho Memory
There is being and nothingness. Science, in its etiological vocation, requires history. Time and space rule knowledge. History is linked to time. We are actors in the great cosmic scheme, the universal design that Australian Aboriginal artists represent...
