My aim is the romantic reformation of reality. A comment on reality based on the stagnation of form, with shapings based on counterfeited principles of drawing, color and matter. What really interests me is the human form in close relation with its surroundings. Its a virtual, made up reality which supports and is being supported compositionally by it.Technically speaking, I approach painting through computer technology. I take pictures of initial drawings, collages, acrylics etc, which on a later stage, process in Photoshop. Its a new composition in effect, which carries the memory of the previous one but in a different context. Subsequently, I print this new composition on canvas, paper or iron transfer paper, and once again, I intervene with the paintbrush, emphasizing, hiding or impairing according to balance requirements.

My new work is oil on canvas.
I've been studying mature, it's cruelty and smoothness. How nature's sexualities look like human's.
"The love of the plants" the poem of Darwin gave me thoughts and my fantasy came to the "flowers and thorns" my latest new work. The forms and details of these plants are exactly what i believe about our sex regarding the humans now adays.
