Eclipses are a dance between the Sun and the Moon. During this process, a cosmic balance emerges that reminds us of the fluidity of life. In time and space, I worked on this piece during the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017.

"Healing Maps" is the name of a series of artworks that I can describe as a work of connection between something I feel flowing through me. I am the vessel, the channel through which that idea is transmitted. The process of creating these pieces is a spontaneous ritual of balance. I work within a circle as a symbol of wholeness and infinity. Then, I seek to break the order within the circle without using conventional patterns or techniques. I simply flow with the shapes and/or textures as I feel and distance myself from the ego. I let the piece itself guide me. It is rather a work that reflects the natural movement between silence, coherence, and chaos.
Sometimes I use only neutral colors, other times bright colors, and I can add materials that inspire me and are available at the moment. But always following that inner impulse. Afterwards, like any other viewer, I step back from the piece to observe the result and create my own story.
