Work in progress

Enjoying the celebrations of Easter Week, I present here a work done on commission, last year. The work was born from a reflection on the theme of the last supper that Christ had with his disciples.

Action painting, sometimes called "gestual abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist. So the technique was perfect to dream about the sea...

PAINTER IN ACTION







Sometimes I'm invited to paint something as a part of a concert. I like to do this kind of performance: it's a opportunity to share some message with lots of people on the same time. In this occasion I have been in Canguçú, a little town in far south of Brazil, where people don't have access to see art.
