Artist Statement

As an artist, I am deeply fascinated by the complexities, contradictions, and imperfections that make up the human experience. Through my figurative art, I aim to capture the essence of this infinite source of inspiration by exploring opposing themes and experimenting with different techniques.

My artistic vision is to offer a unique perspective on the human condition, celebrating its epic nature in all its unbalanced and unfinished glory. Through my work, I seek to showcase the beauty of humanity, highlighting its superb and holy weaknesses.

My creative process is rooted in classical themes, which I re-contextualize to address contemporary social issues. I strive to give my personal twist and find new perspectives on timeless motifs, creating a bridge between past and present.

My artistic practice is dedicated to portraying figures and portraits, carefully crafting each painting with meticulous preparation. Each work is a visual story, revealing layers of meaning and inviting viewers to connect with the subjects on a deep, emotional level.

As a storyteller, my aim is to create a sense of intimacy between the viewer and my art, forging a personal connection that transcends language and cultural barriers. Through my figurative art, I seek to capture the essence of the human experience, creating a powerful visual language that speaks to the heart and soul.
