“Aware that words can never fully grasp the silence and meaning of the pictorial gesture, I try to explain my process. It arises from a need rooted in an inner space where time and space dissolve. I like to imagine that primordial images exist there, entities already formed, living with their own energy, waiting to be summoned. They emerge in response to an emotion, to what happens inside or outside of me. This is why painting, despite its ancient history, retains an intrinsic youthfulness, just like writing, and continues to surprise me, pushing me to explore its hidden sides, where unexpected revelations take shape on the surface of the canvas.” Giusy Lauriola
