Paths through the work

One inquiry, many constellations

The archive is organised by cycles, chronology and techniques. Each record is reunited with the available historical sources and keeps documented information distinct from what is still to be verified.

Fuochi Pulsio Bicolori, 1986

Paris, 1983

Pulsio Art

“Theory is only a serious structural guide to refer to.”

From the theory of planar optical energy comes a vocabulary of points, vectors, chromatic fields and tensions. In the works, figuration and abstraction are not opposites: they become complementary inquiries into a single organic universe.
