Light is the root of all life. Appearance of light is the fundamental event of creation that is interpreted religiously, philosophically, culturally and physically. The little “Fiat Lux” is a Latin word meaning “let there be light”. It is from ‘flat lux et Facta lux’ a command in Genesis 1:3. “And God said, let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:3 The work wishes that the fundamental meaning of creation and formation and the light of hope will spread endlessly through abstract shapes that generate and diffuse light. This is the advent of hope and the metaphor of recovery. The work begins by inserting a point on the marble surface, and obtains texture and motility through the superposition of innumerable dots. The artist’s artistic labor practices in his work reveal the artist’s will to live, and in the state of chaos before creation, the artist defines the acts of constant struggle between the artist and the material. Form and texture are determined in the course of the act between the artist and the matte, and the work gains vitality as a product of the act.
