In my case, painting and drawing are one” Henri Matiss The drawing is not the result of memory, it is placed within a specific temporal reality that is happening in front of me. The topic may have dozens of possibilities. Drawing first, at a varying speed, then color comes as a test in different materials, including ink, pastel, charcoal, acrylic, and paste... Drawing hides the painting, drawing reveals the drawing, and drawing reveals the painting. It is a game of hide-and-seek, integration and merging, tension and contradiction, and risk. knowing that in a final phase (play) painting and drawing could well become one.
