The absence of figures, history and narrative in monochrome paintings is intended to provoke the mind of the observer at first to generate What-you-see, then for wandering into a territory that poet Giacomo Leopardi defined as the place where “ the soul imagines what it has not seen "and, after wandering at will, the soul accepts the invitation of the monochrome and takes rest in the here and now of the unknown that surrounds it. |

Awareness through the sense of sight is different from the word that describes it as well as can be distinct the appearances that reality assume, however, their substance is the same. In a famous Chinese tale, Chuang-tzu dreamed of being a butterfly, but who says that is not the butterfly dreaming Chuang-tzu?
The description is not the described ,
the word is not the thing it designates.

A monotype is a print, but with one major difference from other printmaking processes:
the artist creates exactly one print, instead of multiples (called editions).
This is due to the way a monotype is made.
