The work of Carol Rama has been of great importance to
me, along with the work of Louise Bourgeois and the way she dealt with most
personal subjects ànd the work of Nancy Spero whose politically and socially
involved work strongly marked me.
These three grandes dames opened the way for me to
explore a visual language that allowed me to express my concerns about the
world I live in as well as intimate declarations without borders between the
two.
(I should perhaps add Pierrette Bloch as fourth
significant pillar, but for other reasons).
Rama’s exquisite and raw depictions of the human body as
well as her delicate though strong abstract work thrill me time and time again,
beyond words.
The singularity of her visual language strengthens the
universal themes she deals with, may it be erotic scenes or the use of rubber
as material for later abstract configurations.
These themes are recurrent ones in my own work.
