All’inizio era pulito

All’inizio era pulito.

The surface was empty, controlled, almost careful.

The work grew through repetition rather than intention.

Charcoal, hands, feet, pressure, movements that accumulated faster than decisions.

Figures appeared and disappeared, sometimes recognizable, sometimes already dissolving while being drawn.

The process shifted from drawing on the paper to moving with it.

Marks became traces of duration rather than images to finish.

Control slowly gave way to rhythm, weight, and exhaustion.

What remains is not a fixed narrative, but a record of presence a body thinking through movement, leaving behind evidence of hesitation, excess, and release.
