My work starts from a simple question: what does an image need in order to exist, beyond resembling something? The Ontological Figuration of Form is the starting point for the representation of reality, but in its execution that representation transforms into a pictorial reality of its own, governed by the technical logic of painting itself — the mark, the color, the matter — and no longer by fidelity to the model. Representing is the point of departure, not the final goal: the goal is the technical reconfiguration of form within that pictorial reality. The line does not describe a correct contour; it can originate in a body or an idea and follow its own path without returning to its starting point. Color does not simulate skin or real light, but acts as autonomous energy. The background is not a neutral setting, but a language of its own — with its own geometry and temperature — that coexists with the figure, at times in tension, at times in contrast.

This same principle — the autonomy of line, color, and background — is what produces, across my body of work as a whole, a visible diversity of form and style. This variation does not stem from indecision or a search for a fixed visual identity, but from my interest in exploring painting as a technique: in letting line, color, and material act and reveal results that I cannot always foresee in advance.

Each piece is, in that sense, an exercise in technical learning: upon finishing a work, I reflect on what that process generated — whether intended or not — and on what part of that result I can recognize, understand, and eventually replicate in the next exploration.

Because the technique itself varies — according to the process, the material, the execution — the style in which each piece is ultimately resolved also varies.

It is this diversity, sustained by constant reflection on my own creative process, that I call Reflexive Pictorial Polystyle: not a collection of unrelated styles, but the natural consequence of one sustained interest — to explore, reflect on, and learn from painting — that expresses itself differently in each execution..
