Message of the painting:

Every artist spends their life searching. Sometimes you search outside, sometimes inside, sometimes you search without even knowing what you are looking for. I had been searching for a long time, experimenting, painting, erasing. Until this painting came along.

I thought about it, studied it, revisited it several times. I wanted it to bear my mark, to be mine even if it was different. And it was. But as I painted it, as I went over every detail, every tree, every colour, something became clear...

This painting has been a teacher. It has made me understand, by contrast, what my true path is. Just as sometimes, in order to understand who we are, we must first explore who we are not. It has been the necessary exploration, the step off the path that has allowed me to see from a distance the path I really want to follow.

In any case, this painting exists. And it is important.

It depicts an abstract forest at sunset. Four trees intertwine, their shapes merging, seeking each other out, supporting each other. As happens in real forests, where roots communicate underground and branches learn to coexist. But these are not just trees. They are presences. And their colours speak an ancient language.
