"These works arise from listening to people's stories,
in a bar or at a restaurant,
often involuntarily I find myself listening to facts or situations of unknown individuals,
I find these tales extremely stimulating as a starting point to begin a painting.

Once in the studio,
I elaborate on the story which most of the time coincides with a situation already experienced..."
