Trapped in a “space” of destruction – whether ecological, of people and their relationships, or of culture, the present rapes the past, modifying and incorporating it into the controlled present. In this situation, we are now tired of that fashion of deconstructions with a supposedly revolutionary sign, because what people are urgently seeking now is the need for coherent answers. And the key question and answer here is on the issue of happiness, a happiness that Western culture has probably lost and thus thrown into the cycle of the commodity.

​

That is why my art wants to be the philosophical and emotional dive into the primordial being of human existence. This primordial has time and is present in human prehistory, just as it is also present in the human body. This intervention constitutes the historical stakes of contemporary art, which should be constructive in a contemplative way.

​

The role of the artist - if he makes art in terms of constructive poetics - is to oppose and at the same time unify the real with the imaginary of the participant, freeing it from the individual linguistic. I desire an art that demands the creation of new undominated spaces of habitation of the social imaginary. The social imaginary, through the connection of human communities, acts both autonomously and connectively, while constantly recreating new spaces that tend to surpass the fixed components of the life of a dominated world, simultaneously political and existential, extending and deepening the basis of our common experiential space. This space constitutes the situation, the background of feelings about life and the world, the space where we experience thoughts and desires. By elevating the traditional viewer from the level of the simple and typical viewer, I desire his transformation into another, not an imaginary subject of viewing but into a real active body, capable of emerging into new possibilities of the object, new worlds, not only of art but of life.

​

In this sense, social sculpture, as the basis of my own effort, is, contrary to what is imposed today on the consumer society, the return of art to society. The challenge we face today is to have art as a catalyst for change in social reality and at the same time as a center for awakening human authenticity. The world of people in solidarity, as the dominant basis of reality, is now called upon in our common work, through an act-participation, simultaneously of aesthetic and moral participation, to become active, that is, to rediscover its lost autonomy as a social and historical subject. Therefore, the artist must critically – that is, philosophically – choose a level of expression and a type of “form” that will exclude inhuman and demeaning components with the aim of a process of fulfilling human existence, as a poetic existence.

​

My intention, then, is to transmit the poetic movement of this cycle to the viewer, because within it lies all the creative and liberating energy. My medium, not the superficial feelings – which are manipulated – but the insatiable deep emotions, those that arise here as energetic tendencies of erotic contact, constituting the very dynamics of living forms, as tendencies of connection and synthesis with the natural world. By giving priority to these elements of expression, the work itself is transformed into a model of life, a “living species”. Thus, creative acts – only those that are composed above the correctness of some “ideal” plan – are therefore infinite, restoring our lost horizon, discovering within man that primary level, that flame and that earthly unity of the forgotten life, thrown and forgotten in the planned insignificance of today, are revealed again, through the distance.

​

This tendency of urgent connection with the world that constitutes my work, therefore, constitutes an ethical act, an act that tends towards an ecology of liberation which necessarily results in basic relationships that contain the naked experience of the human being on the planet. The natural materials and forms of my work rediscover their place in this aporia of space-time and existence that concerns the relationship of the human species with the world. This ancient human ecology of life and action (today "thrown" into a permanent alienation), constitutes the primary relationship of man with the other who is himself, an act that is embodied through the vertical dive into space and time and simultaneously towards a primary environment, which is at the same time the basis of our primary body. The discovery of the body in my art therefore consists in the basic "materials" of human experience that are found in prehistory, before the infections and violence of civilization. The material conveys a poetics that realizes
