I draw mostly in black and white using a lot of black india ink on paper.

The reason is that I like strong feelings, strong contradictions and the best contradiction, and the stronger contradiction is the contradiction and eternal war between the black and the white.

…the white sheet of the paper is my mind… or a part of my mind, my mind without thoughts

…the lines, the strong brushfuls of ink, black… are my thoughts and my feelings

I’ve not a simple soul and mind, I’ve various and many souls in my soul, many minds in my mind. So are my artworks, dark&dreaming, chaotic&anarchic, strong&hallucinated, disturbing, freakish, weird.

To draw is a way, to know myself? I don’t know if it's so. I draw and I draw all the time because I like this strange work I’ve created for my many Claudios in myself.
