CARPETS
To create a carpet is to practice meditation. I think of the anonymous artisans weaving their lives into carpets. Prayers, songs, smiles, dreams are intertwined with their colored patterns. This is why it is believed that a carpet has special powers, so you could fly on it … When I paint my carpet on the floor I feel the magic of them. Walking over my own brushstrokes, my feet make the texture of the background. The ritual begins dividing the carpet's area in geometric patterns and finding the center. The central medallion represents the gate to Infinity, the grids symbolize the division between this reality and different dimensions. I weave my carpet brushstroke after brushstroke: I sing, I laugh, I pray, I cry too … sometimes. I paint carpets to find the way into the Labyrinth, carpets to get in alignment with the Cardinal Points, carpets to see the messages hidden in my dreams. When the work is completed, I roll up my carpet and - as a pilgrim in the desert - I am on my way. Again. And again
