Series description and interpretation
Bowls
The bowl il the palet where I create my colour every day. I never use a pure colour; I always start from what I find inside the cup. What I find is what is left over from the day before once I have painted on a canvas. Every day I add a new colour, slowly transforming it over time. The substance changes, is consumed and does not accumulate. It is always renewed. The cup never empties but is always alive and wet. It is like keeping a plant alive.

Self-portraits
All the times I have tried to depict myself..
