THE PROCESS

( page 1)

Most probably many people would be wondering what is the source of my inspirations in my creating process, The answer is that everything start inside my mind, I can consider myself fortunate in having a strong sense of imagination that any object in my daily life could serve as a catalyzer for my brain to sinthesize a figurative image. The texture of a dry leaf, the structure of the branches of a tree, a stain in a wall etc. This things resembles in my mind objects of the inconscience which might be personal or perhaps collective that migth be floating across the universe in which I think I am just a mere interpreter. I call this the ethereo-magical world. How many of us during childhood had imagined forms and shapes on the clouds, This process is defined as the pareidolia effect and I could say I developed this talent since then, This thing occurs involuntarily at times when I look at things, ˇchas! , It surge like a flash and I can see myself running for a pencil and a piece of paper as soon as possible in order to sketch the idea before it fades on my mind. Once I have the bocetto sketched, it is just a matter of time for me to decide which of the bunch I have ,could be materialized through the clay that in my case I employ, is stoneware. The following below are samples of my inspiration.
