Writing, within the artist’s path, originates as a foundational and necessary gesture. From early childhood, it appears in the form of diaries: an intimate space of listening and recording lived experience, where thoughts, emotions, and inner transitions are collected. It is not a structured literary project, but a deep need for awareness and presence.
Over time, this writing evolves into a more essential and fragmented form. The texts become autonomous units, brief and non-linear, where each word contains a precise emotion or perception. There is no narrative construction, but an immediate recording of inner experience, which naturally takes on a poetic dimension.
From this body of work, Fragments is born, the first poetry collection, resulting from the selection and sedimentation of years of diary writing and then in Music Album. The pages explore universal themes such as love, loss, fragility, rebirth, and transformation, preserving living traces of human experience.
Later, writing expands into narrative form with the novel Petals of Life, which tells the story of a relationship between a man and a woman marked by complex emotional dynamics. The narrative journey leads to a deeper awareness: the recognition of self-love as the fundamental principle of inner balance.
With the emergence of the artist’s bas-relief practice, writing also takes on a documentary and structural role through the Encyclopedia of Light and Matter, a chronological and critical diary accompanying the artistic process.
This work includes cataloguing of artworks, emotional descriptions, captions, and critical texts.
The Encyclopedia is structured in volumes: The Origins of Form, Dialogues with Light, The Alchemy of Matter, and the fourth volume, Vibrations of Form, currently in progress, dedicated to the theme of breath and matter as energy in constant movement.
Overall, writing represents a continuous line of transformation of lived experience into language, where experience and awareness are deeply intertwined in a single creative process.
