""Curiosités naturelles" no 5" Painting

I have always painted, and I live from my painting. It is both my expression and my daily breath.

My studio is a sanctuary where I recharge, a place of disorder because if I tidy up, I don't paint. I need to see my brushes; they are essential to my creation.

I cherish the quotes from painters that adorn my space, like the one from Yo-Yo Mag: "A work only exists when it leaves the studio," a phrase that resonates deeply with me.

My artistic style is based on drawing, the backbone of my practice, which I combine with the bold use of vibrant colors. After a period of scientific illustrations, my expatriation to Argentina and then China opened me up to large brushes and imposing canvases, allowing me to combine precise lines with broad strokes. I explore oil painting on wood, a technique that enriches my work by adding a sculptural dimension.

Portraits fascinate me because each person is unique; in my work, it's not about representation but about capturing the essence of presence. I enjoy blending eras in my works, combining the old with the modern for a contrasting and powerful result.

My inspirations come from everyday life, from human interactions to the colors and lights captured in my dreams; everything contributes to nourishing my artistic creativity.
