In 2020 was selected through an international public open call to create two large-scale permanent public sculptures in Malta.

Statement

When Kandinsky wrote the book Point and line on the plane, the author defined the plane as: "... the material surface called to receive the content of the work." It gives it the diminutive of PB (base plane) and delimits it on its sides with two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. He examines the composition on the plane, but does not examine it as a compositional element in itself. At no time is the use of the plane considered as an element capable of being manipulated with the same freedom with which we use the point and the line.

My work focuses on the manipulation of the plane as a compositional element, I grant it characteristics freed of condemnation to the rectangularity of its shape and I use its ability to be replicated to generate multiple interactions in space, thus generating sculptural compositions that claim the use of the plane beyond its function as mere support.
