For some time I define my work with the title Thaumaturgus opticus, project unified and multifaceted, game of quotations and fragments of stories, images and memories of images and memory images. Visual memories require techniques, assembled images suggest materials.
A game of deception, as here where a Mantegna that is not a Mantegna, in a tarot that is not a tarot meets a blood splash which is a mantis.
