Why?, serie Senegal Child Painting

I am an artist who likes working and experimenting with different materials and subjects. I am always trying to capture the ambience and atmosphere of the place where I live or where I travelled to, looking for the light, the shadows, colours, beauty, ruin, decay … To me painting is much more than colouring or drawing, it is about materials, I put and I remove, it is a hard war, I create and I destroy; one colour, one brushstroke, one intention, always hide something more. My paintings are a combination of the real and imagined, exploring the concept of time and memory. I am interested in portrait as well. I really like to paint children and animals because They give me the oportunity to capture the true essence of their souls. I like painting urban landscapes and the interaction between people and urban environment.
