I consider cooperation between artistic personalities a crucial principle to create a live performance. The result is a blend of points of view which gives the creation fullness and identity.
In this environment I am attracted by the expressionist use of light and I am pushed to go beyond its merely functional purpose. I research colours, shapes, directions, qualities that design, depict an idea and accompany the spectator's perception. I like working in unconventional situations, inventing spaces, adapting creations to different places, always looking for a new consistency for the work and for its inspiring principles.
