The theme of food has always been present in my thoughts about art, right from my very first steps, because I am always searching for what is essential. This thought immediately leads to traces of liquids, salts, creams, and spices in all their immediacy, and the addition of anything to them becomes an extra, something baroque and sickening. I began to inquire into the meaning of food and luxury and of their mutual relationships, with the idea of using this as a starting point for a series of works that might indicate a path between personal impulses and originality.
