My artistic practice began with a search for beauty through colour, composition, relationships between forms, and the possibilities offered by technique. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts before entering the seminary. Although my life later led me towards the priesthood and missionary work, art has remained a fundamental way of searching and listening.
I do not begin with a meaning that I simply intend to illustrate. Meaning emerges through the act of making. I allow imagination to enter into dialogue with technique and with the unexpected results that emerge along the way. In this sense, creating is a dialogue: I make, but I also listen to what the work gradually reveals.
My Christian faith gives this process a deeper horizon. I seek beauty, allowing it to lead me towards a truth that can illuminate what is expressed in Sacred Scripture or expand its semantic horizon.
I think of a work almost as a child: I contribute to its birth, but then I must discover who it is, aware that I did not create it and cannot define it. It can only surprise me, and this opens me to contemplation.
