Lot Essay

'Painting to me combines expressions of rhythm, poetry, scent, emotion... It offers ways to articulate the spaces between words. Canvas can be attacked, copulated with and played like an instrument. I believe in painting like I believe in music.' (I. Ekblad quoted in Gigiotto Del Vecchio, 'Pure Energy, Deep Poetry', in Mousse Magazine and Publishing, Issue #22, Milan).
