Catalogue Note
“The spin paintings gather and amalgamate the individuality of every individual color, introducing a mechanical rotating movement at the moment of execution, to make the colors participate in a primordial state , where order and creation dissolve and disengage from the meditation of thought and representation, to become pure expression of the basic and vital gesture of painting and its mythology.”
