My professional life has always orbited around creation in one way or another, whether thinking a laboratory experiment to test a scientific hypothesis or, currently, determining the best way to present a film’s cuts and the colors that best represent the feeling of a scene, still objects, and the actors' movements.
Having previously worked in oncological scientific research, and more recently as a photographer and filmmaker, an enthusiast of contemporary art and design, my brief history and multidisciplinary tastes reinforce my inability to fit in or define what I am. At the end of the day, the category or name matters little to me, what I do is enough.
The act of creating a video and defining the colors present in a scene involves more than just a good soundtrack or a combination of pretty hues. It is a symphony, where scene cuts, movements, glances, hues, and light intensity blend together, becoming inseparable, unique.
From the unpretentious creation and experimentation of Saul Bass in design, to the dense and dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, from the almost indefinable boundaries of Da Vinci’s contours to the modernist eloquence of Kandinsky, from the brutal and beautiful works of Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape to the sentimental gradients of Olafur Eliasson and James Turrell, my stubborn obsession with visual creation and color experimentation has found its place of expression.
Tell me who I am not, for I do not know. Who are you not?
