De occulta philosophia
Recently, I have been thinking about the idea of simplicity, simplicity in its every form, in a world that is constantly transforming and getting progressively more complex while basic human needs have remained the same for centuries.
In my work, I was feeling uninspired and tired of trying to achieve perfection while respecting lines and colours in order to represent reality and to ultimately create something beautiful. I felt constrained by my own rules, as if I were in a box, a cell that I created for my own protection.
I was scared of leaving these confines both in my art and in my life. My painting was controlled at every moment and I was not able to let go of my fears.
My only choice was to stop painting. It was really painful having to let go of the control that I had been used to my entire life
