Many are asking why I cover in my work such a large variety of subjects matter and how this could make sense for me – or for others.
I will come back on this subject more extensively, but let say for now that it is a matter of choice AND need for my own balanced state of mind. I have always need to understand the many aspects of life and to find a way to express my explorations in that regard. I have always work to avoid unidimensionality to instead address universal values. In order to do so, multimedia exploration and universal curiosity appear to be the best practice for me.
Here is a succinct extract of a “Mission Statement” (Part 1) I wrote few years ago:

“Over the years, I have covered a wide range of subjects rather than working with one major theme. Eventually, to bring coherence into apparent eclecticism, I conceived a global system of representation that I call REPRESENTATIO UNIVERSALIS*. It is divided into three major sections: Politics, Identity, and Science. Each section is subdivided into many categories and subcategories, allowing the integration of each and every artwork. This project grows from a global and holistic perspective of my practice as an artist and of its representation in a post-rational structure (See the project FRACTAL UTOPIA for additional details)…”

Here is also the Big Chart of the Project FRACTAL UTOPIA (A Dream of Global Understanding) titled REPRESENTATION UNIVERSALIS, the Latin for UNIVERSAL REPRESENTATION. I was very excited when I conceived this graphic representation, first because it made sense of a multidimensional practice and also because it allows me to integrate into it everything I did, everything I do, and everything I will ever do. I really do like this holistic integration of meaning. Here it is (As an uncompleted project): see picture.
