"Ephemeral" Is the name of the series that I began to paint in 2018.
I began the series inspired by the beauty of Greek ceramics, which have stories painted about their mythology and daily life.
I appropriated them and transformed their shape, some in glazed volumes with a real and light appearance and others keeping the shape of the ceramic.
The story that I tell in my glass spheres arises from an experience I had when I saw a Betta Fish enclosed in a small container; I saw that for him, it was "his world" thus reduced, but it was all that he counted on.
Moved by this experience, I felt I identified as a living being with him and that my only universe is the planet on which I live and all the living beings that inhabit it.
In one of his poems, Rabindranath Tagore said, "Do not behave badly with your world; do not predispose it against you." This phrase summarizes the message of my work.
Just as the artists of antiquity painted the history of their time, I reflect in my painting the moment in which we live on a planet significantly deteriorated by pollution and climate change, which is affecting our survival.
To explain my thoughts pictorially, I use symbolic elements, such as glass, cloth, and dry leaves, representing the ephemeral and fragile state of existence.
The refined acrylic technique on canvas has helped me create smooth and transparent surfaces, and my work's varied and intense colors give it expressive force.
