The historical memories of the city give life to the theme of "Finding" that grows in the artist's works, ancient images suspended, trapped in old walls, belonging to the form of time and space. New icons, the bring meaning to the contemporary interpretation of the ancient icon, intense figures that emerge in part and in part are lost, mingling with what is below, stratifications, as in our minds, layers of experience, knowledge and emotions of old and new.
