Healing Scars, acrylic on canvas (60 x 40 cm) has taken a process on its own. While, the intention of the painting, the attitude towards the gesture of healing, has been untouched. The elements in the composition have evolved into states. The movement…

I do not have much to say. I am just back from the concert and it was really so suberb that I have no words. I would not like to miss the blissfull musical resonance for nothing. It is full moon and I think that the dots are my notes.

This state of awareness creates an interesting connection with the body-mind interactivity. I have been very sensitive to the any small body discomfort. If my feet complain I listen and massage them with herbal oils. If my skin is dry, I nourish it. In…

It has been raining all day long. I managed to add a layer to my two paintings but it will take longer for the gel medium I am applying to dry. So, I was starring at the walls for hours. So, I took the opportunity to make drawings.

The plan was to start my day by giving my three pieces their finishing touches and prepare for a new one, by applying the gesso on the last raw canvas I have brought from Toronto.

I am entering into the second week of my residence and I can feel that my soul is only now arriving here to meet my body. It is an Brazilian indian idea that if someone travels too fast, the soul will be able to catch up only later on. There are these st…
