Many people has given me their opinion about my art.
However, I've got a very strict art critic: Me.
Sometimes I feel that a work is not good enough, that I didn't do my best when I was doing it, that I could have made it better, that I could have placed more energy in it…
That's when I paint it over, and repaint it, and repainted again until I believe the work has got everything that it needed, all the force I was able to give.
Well, this serial shows some of the works that were retouched many times, until I was satisfied…
This is a very intimate serial. Here you will see the core hart of me.
I am a human being, and I change my mind many times until I reach a point
when I say "this work is completed". I don't want to be a machine
that has everything calculated, that never fails. I want to have the right
to make mistakes. This serial is a journey to my expectations, and frankly, to my eternal unconformity.

This
is the only serial that I can say that is endless... More and more works
will be a part of this serial as long as I continue painting, because,
as I have said before : I've got a kind of eternal unconformity...
