METRONOMY

METRONOMY

Dehydrate time of its power to absorb these
precious memories of my existence distilled fragments of a life force
faced with finite boundaries in an infinite cosmos.

ARTIST STATEMENT
MANIFESTO FOR NEW SCULPTURES

NEW FUTURISM

There can be no renewal of art if the essence is not renewed, that is,
the vision and concept of line and mass that forms the sculpture.

To renew the art of sculpture we must start from the nucleus of the object we want to create in order to
discover new forms that link it invisibly to the apparent infinite. This new art will then be a translation into material of those atmospheric planes that
link and intersect things. This physical transcendentalism of sculpture must give life
to objects by a system of interpenetration.

Objects do not exist in isolation – they cut through and divide the surrounding space in an arabesque of directional curves.
The divisionist technique endeavors to penetrate the object and represent movement.

PHYSICAL TRANSCENDENTALISM
The work of art, aspires to proceed from a realm of indeterminacy of chance, of dream which has significance for life but superior to it – a realm of super-reality.
