Archival ink touch-liner and watercolor on acid-free paper. This drawing belongs to a ritualistic series named Periscope, ongoing since 2019. Periscope is a journal of daily life moments. Each drawing depicts the embodied narrative of a particular moment in time. The ritual starts with a written text in the back followed by my artist signature and date. I then turn the paper around and let the lines and colors intuitively flow. As curator Beatrice Fontana writes about this series: “The result is a collection of fascinating little details, anthropomorphic forms and fantastical figures, ethereal yet with a tenacious physicality. Dreamlike dimensions that confront text-thoughts and multiply voices, generating a bold chorality. A miniature snapshot of a colorful and pensive collective, portrayed with its human cargo of thoughts and dreams.” Different curated selections of the series Periscope have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, in Zurich and in Madrid. They are also part of numerous private collections.
