I abandoned canvas for cardboard. The choice of this support enriches possibilities through the interplay of cutting, folding and layering.

“Almost similar,” and yet different—no two pieces the same. Born from the development of a process, this is the concept.

I feel that it’s the life force of my last creation that urges and suggests my next work to me.

Make more with less:
2 colors, red and white
1 painted sign, recessed or in relief
the combination of colors and
transpositions of the sign offer
innumerable series.
