About the W.O.M.P. Series works
In November 2024, I published the photos of a work entitled “The Genius”. It was a subject that came out of the casual intersection of lines drawn with my eyes closed and, like all the works created in this way, belonging to the series called W.O.M.P. (Wandering Of My Pen). Once that work was finished, I immediately felt that there had to be a sequel, a sort of story that had as its main characters that bizarre and eccentric man who emerged from the tangle of lines and that spotted dog. So I created four drawings that represent four scenes of a short story (containing a metaphorical message), of which this work is the first act. The tetralogy, of which I have already created the individual scenes, is in the writing phase. The text chosen to “color” the 4 works is “The Tin Drum” (Orig. Die Blechtrommel) by the German writer Günter Grass.
