Process

Before I used to go everywhere with my easy carrying drawing materials. When I saw something that got my attention I was ready to stop for short while and quickly did register it. Funny that mostly I was happy with the result.

Since my daughter is born I made several sketches for panels and sculptures, but it is accumulating on paper. I wish to make then all. But, costs, time, skills and materials are blocking me too long.

I decide to paint, draw, again, because it costs less efforts.

But my will tends to go to the panels, sculptures.

To bridge bi-dimensional to tridimensional.

To bring life outside the paper.

The ingredients I wish to add are long... to combine all of them plus to free myself from my initial ideas, sketches, are challenging me.

Main problem I face now is how to mix ideas and feelings, spontaneity without missing my initial start.

The paintings and drawings made recently are thought, that annoys me.

I need to find the balance from my ideas and the process of happening, to let the spontaneous lines drive me again.

Sometimes dreams and ideas are confronting.

The danger is to force it happens or to stay long still.

I hesitate, I study the possibilities, I think too much.

Stop being prisoner from my own ideas is my decision.

But I need to pass through this brain storm.

I am slow by preparing my mind and spirit... but mostly, when I start a project it happens like domino effect, it flows naturally.

This process will show my direction.
