Being an Artist: Where Vision, Society, and Identity Meet

Being an artist is not a profession, but a state of being: a way of perceiving the world and transforming what exists—and what does not yet exist—into image, intuition, sign.

Being an artist means inhabiting an intermediate space: a threshold between reality and vision, between what is visible and what emerges from the unconscious.

The artist as a living threshold

Every artist lives on a border: between light and shadow, between intuition and conscience, between the individual and society.
Art happens in this thin margin, where experience dissolves and recomposes itself into new forms.

Here lies the power of being an artist: not creating objects, but allowing something of the world to take shape through us.

Intention, vision and disintegration

The artistic gesture is not just technique: it is intention, impulse, resonance.
Intention guides the hand, chooses the sign, defines the light.

But creation isn’t linear.
It’s a movement of construction and disintegration, where every step forward implies a step back.
We go through mistakes, setbacks, and sudden insights, until we find an unstable and vibrant equilibrium.

This dynamic is the light and shadow of the creative process.

Art as a social mirror

Art doesn’t exist outside the world.
Every artist engages in dialogue with their own time, even when working in silence.
We live in a fragmented, fast-paced, and perceptually discontinuous era: it is here that the artist becomes a necessary, lateral voice.

The social function of art lies not in consensus, but in resonance.
The work should not reassure: it should awaken.

Dreams and reality: two sides of the same perception

Dreaming is not an escape, but a tool.
Dreams reveal deep structures of reality: the cracks, the symbols, the hidden contents.

The moment the dream disintegrates—it loses logic, form, and continuity—it opens a gateway to the emotional truth of things.

My artistic journey unfolds precisely here:
between presence and discontinuity, between image and dissolution, between reality and dream.
