It is wrong to consider me a painter.
I prefer to say that I use colours and signs.
Moreover, I don’t regard my art as abstract but simply
as “an art of signs”. […]

I always use just a few colours in a painting.
The placing of one colour next to another… creates a glow… that determines an indefinite visual game to which
the viewers must abandon themselves.
