"... The fundamental interest is colour, and naturally light, which is colour's essence. So, there is no substantial difference between my paintings, let's say, from the past and the one of these last few years. The difference, if we can talk about a difference, is that once the emotion, and so the suggestion, came from outside: today, it comes from inside, it's all internal. Images of light that have gone leaving sediment inside me emerge in colour. Time of memory, fragments of regained moments, fruit more of imagination than reality, brought onto the canvas with more rigorous essentiality. Feeling, as stimulus for a new way of painting..."
