This drawing is the final piece of a series of large-scale drawings (150 × 150 cm). In the previous drawings, I expressed a strong instinctive and almost aggressive physical involvement. After the intense previous works, I aimed to create a serene piece, allowing the subtlety of expression and unmerging in a sort of dream. As with the previous drawings, I had no plan in mind; I was only drawn to what was appearing, and from there, I established an activity that resulted in an exploration of emotions, sensitivity, and aesthetics. In this drawing, I had no predetermined formal map and improvised. The resulting forms of everything are not associated with actual concrete elements. However, given the spontaneity of the (ir)reality of unconscious contents with which I and impulses, forms may be glimpsed, perhaps with some indeed real meaning: the essence of the source of the soul, wishful, but without shapes.
