My parallel engagement with Byzantine iconography helped me, taking cues from the tradition to structure compositions from the Old and New Testaments in a different way, wanting to focus on the emotion of that moment being depicted. A frozen scene cut off from its historical context, now open to new interpretations. The background (field) of each work acts as a preformation of all the elements of the image. The figures emerge from the flat space with the lights disappearing into this unified proplasm. This gives the figures and objects in the space a transparency, which is served by the line that defines it as a design the structure of elements in space. The folds of the clothes following the rhythm and the basic elements of the Byzantine tradition are created from the necessary forms to declare the folds and clothes in the simplest way.
Geometry, says Socrates in Plato's Republic, makes the soul face the essence of beings.
