Summary/Abstract: The complexity of symbolic behavior, rendered in Prehistoric art, is proof of the creativity of human communities, with certain elements of an individual or collective spirituality. In the personal work, the anthropomorphic theme is inspired by the palette of archaic cultures and includes compositions made in several cycles. The representation of prehistoric forms inspires me especially in observing its ability to concentrate and emit the coding of a message. Thus, among other things, I often choose to express in various formal hypostases the plastic representation of the Eye - which in symbolism, is always associated with light which since ancient times is considered not only a sensitive organ, but one that emits beams of energy and a symbol of the capacity for spiritual expression and perception. I consider that the evolution of the contemporary artistic consciousness implies the inclination on the cultural values of the beginnings of humanity, for the rediscovery of the initial perfection, for the capitalization of some formal and symbolic realities that have the authority of the archetype.
