Many artists say they held a paintbrush in their hands before they learned to write. My story, however, began much later, not in a classroom, but on the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar and under the electric sun of Bali. Although as a child I did not feel a calling to the visual arts, adulthood brought me a visual revelation that I could not ignore.
​ There, where the colors of nature are so intense that they seem unreal, I felt for the first time the need to 'stop' that positive energy and bring it home with me. I realized that painting is not about how well you drew in school, but about the courage to translate a state of mind onto canvas, at any age.
This is how my vibrant portraits emerged, where the figurative melts into the abstract through dripping, splatter and neon colors techniques – a tribute to the strong contrasts encountered, ancestral tradition mixed with modern energy.
My art is proof that It's never too late to discover your creative voice. Each painting is an extension of that first spark felt under the exotic sky, an invitation for the viewer to see the world not in shades of gray, but in an explosion of possibilities.

In 2004 I graduated from the University of Finance and Banking, I worked in completely different fields and now I dedicate myself exclusively to my passion for painting.
