Artist Statement 

My artwork is characterized by the use of vivid and contrasting colors, blending intuitive abstract and geometric elements to create a harmonious interplay. Infused with my profound and personal universe of emotions and ideas, it explores the delicate balance between beauty and mystery, the fleeting nature of innocence, and the melancholic state of uncertainty.

My sources of inspiration come from various fields such as graphic design, interior and textile design, art, illustration, music, designer toys, handcrafts from different traditions, fashion, gothic aesthetics, and photography. However, I find that the world's folklore provides an endless wellspring of creative ideas and inspiration that fuels my work.

My fascination with distant cultures has inspired me to explore my own heritage, which I incorporate into both my personal life and artistic pursuits. I use a diverse range of shapes, patterns, and colors inspired by different cultures to offer a unique and honest perspective on the human experience, free from unnecessary symbolism. Ultimately, my goal is to distill these cultural influences into a single artistic vision that touches viewers on an emotional level and leaves a lasting impression.
