Original artwork description:

My art practice was born and developed through the representation of the human body and parts of it, particularly arms and legs.
Over time, the represented limbs undergo a transformation , they are no longer just arms or just legs, they become hybrid forms, they become branches, they become rocks, they become earth, they become leaves.
At the same time, trees, branches, rocks, earth, no longer remain just that but call up bodies; there is no longer a clear boundary between one and the other but an ambiguous representation of these forms trying to reconnect with their origins.
In my recent series Not a snake, the represented form can recall different things: body fragments, bark, branches, earth, tigers, walruses, pieces of wood, snakes, etc.
Over time, the latter view is the one that has taken over.
I imagine this form as a snake changing its skin, in a kind of ritual of transformation and metamorphosis.
These rounded shapes and shadows recall the Uruboro, in a vortex with no beginning or end, seemingly still but in eternal motion, seeking a deep reconnection with self, I let go of something and acquire something new, as happens in every cycle of death and rebirth.
