The Fire’s Reason
The reason of these pyrographies, initially has its origin in the need to draw. In the motivation to leave an imprint in a different way than usual in the conceived minor art that pyrography is today. The purpose of elevating the artisan work to a more serious, intelligent, committed level could be overwhelming if there is no loyalty to drawing, as the basis of everything. It is, however, a formidable undertaking to undertake "impossibilities" once a dream takes shape, with the simple and measured instruction of giving life to a surface, by means of an image, which comes from no other source than this exercise of drawing.
I find, and this is a discovery, first accidental, then sublime, the marvelous resource of fire, from the first way of giving life and preserving humanity from the cold, to building civilizations and giving us what we are today. Fire saves and destroys, in a natural duality as a paradox of existence; and in each table where I burn through lines and segments, burning caresses in various senses, intensity and heat, the glory and fear of existing are resolved.
Magic surprised me when I discovered that I was using fire to do something useful and good, by setting wood boards on fire in tiny and repeated fragments, just as when firewood is left on the embers to protect us from the cold. So that became the primary reason; to do something good, pure and true for others, doing only what I know how to do, well done.
