Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings.In terms of technique, I generally work on canvas prepared with at least two coats of gesso. I do a pencil sketch on paper, then on the canvas before painting with acrylic and then in oil."
