Light as the Protagonist
For me, painting is immersing myself in a space where time disappears and the world concentrates into light, color, and memories. Light is both my companion and my protagonist; it shapes and breathes life into every form.
Painting as an Emotional Experience
When I work, I feel how painting allows me to explore and give form to my memories, concerns, and experiences. My sensations are transformed into matter. I am moved by the possibility of creating atmospheres that are not only seen but also felt, inviting the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the work.
Dialogue with Tradition
My references to European pictorial traditions—the drama of the Baroque, the expressive tension of Mannerism, the emotional force of the great masters—serve as a bridge to my own sensations. I do not copy; I engage in a dialogue with them, reinterpreting their language in a contemporary key.
Materials and Memory
I work with diverse materials—oil, acrylic, inks, pastels, markers, waxes—and often on canvases or panels that have had another life. The practice of reusing connects me to the prior histories of these objects, adding invisible layers of memory to each piece.
Intimacy and Connection
Painting is an act of intimacy and discovery. Each work is a space where my feelings and reflections about the world around us or about myself find their expression. At the same time, each of my works is an attempt to connect with those who view them, a bridge to the experience of the other.
The Transformative Power of Art
I firmly believe that art has the power to foster dialogue across cultures and generations. Each work is an opportunity to reach out to its viewer. Every painting is a chance to connect, reflect, and perhaps contribute to making this world a better place.
