Ixia Venel

My work alludes to my inner-self and my heart, through a colorful style that combines figurative and abstraction like nobody else.
I am influenced by the dualist philosophy of Descartes, and try to perceive other parallel realities, to sense other metaphysical, intangible forces, and to travel between dreams and reality.
