STATEMENT
"i tend to reduce the language to specified numbers of essential elements, lacking as many denotative meanings as possible, trying to transform the medium used in a technique of linguistic investigation of an analytical and self-reflective nature.
in whatever form my art may have, i am looking for the pure forma: direct and immediate access to my artistic alphabet, trying to eliminate my intellectual and associative experience”
