The skin of painting

Each of us has our own private world. Such private worlds are not ‘real’
worlds, except for the beholder, they are not the actual world".
                                                                                 Marleau Ponty

A piece of abandoned leather starts the flow of time – I gave another meaning to it - I turned this piece of skin to an artistic purpose.
Now its function is to imprint, on canvas, the memory of itself - past and present coming together in a painting, using colours and images that talk about the thick, as well as the worn-thin layers of the leather.
