‘My body is against me’ is a series of small size paintings (30x30cm) (acryl on canvas). They are enlargements of negligible frustrations, pain or insecurity. By focusing on these visual ‘events’ on my body they start to look like the evidence of life of a martyr – which is, I assure you, higly exaggerated. This way I laugh at the way we, or at least I, tend to complain fast about nothing. At the same time it’s a reference to Frida Kahlo whose work got me, totally unexpected, into painting a couple of years ago. Of course her physically and emotionally dramatic life were rightly inspirations, whilst I blow up simple things like a blue spot into something horrible.
