Art & Psyche
I worked for 25 years as a psychotherapist, listened to many stories that have come from what Jung calls the collective unconscious.

Art is not a totally new turn in my life, it is a development of years of exploration the expression of psyche and culture in the medium of the therapy room, groups, face-to-face and online.

More overt artistic expression was “gestating” during this time and is now fully alive in several visual projects.

My main training is in the Psychodrama & sociometry the work of J. L. Moreno who is foundational in network theory.

The main thrust of my art is to give form to the movemnt of the psyche, which is psychodramatically conceived as relationships outside the body, including relationships to cultural objects.
