The good thing about losing oneself is that one sees things for the first time, always.
This body of work is an intuitive and organic process. I work with nature but giving it an artificially condition.
My paintings are composed by layers of organic abstract images . I am interested in evoke ambiguity of meaning, offering fantastic insights into mysterious organism of nature. I hope I could created tension between nature and artifice.
The themes of my work are always related to nature. I would create images from nests, cells, membranes, stones or waterfalls of unknown creatures to landscapes.
these new works become crystallized through the superposition of layers, transparent layers that permit the tracing of the work's trajectory from the first to the last stroke.

This structure, this network of relationships among elements, is what I am emphasizing: Variations on the theme of cutting out, of emptiness, of painting"”as if the work were the body of an animal or a plant that has different shapes, contents, and functions, all of which move as a unit.
