Out of My Control is an exercise in freedom, in which the artist challenges himself to work with a technique that is, by nature, a physical manifestation of the lack of control. Guided by paper as a visual thread, diluted acrylic paints, and a restrained colour palette, he created dozens of works exploring different geometries, textures, saturations, gestures, shapes, and brushstrokes. As he trained his hand, he learned and unlearned.

The starting point was something deeply personal, small yet immense: the experience of fatherhood. With it, life began to somersault in unexpected ways. Out of My Control unfolds as an extremely biographical visual diary of the joys and challenges of daily life, like finding pleasure in a stolen ten minutes to read a book.
