Biography
Drawing has been a part of me since I can remember an ongoing thread through my life that never faded. In recent years, my path took me through the world of advertising, where I discovered a new dimension of creative possibilities. This experience allowed me to work with materials like LEDs, vinyl, digital printing, plexiglass, transparencies, PVC, and construction materials, adding a modern twist to my artistic practice. These materials bring a sharpness and clarity to my work, reflecting the brightness and transparency of our technological age.
I blend this knowledge with my innate desire to create, using everything I’ve learned to express myself in multiple ways. My work is a conversation between the tangible and the imagined, where words, images, and personal experiences merge. I take what I see, photograph, or live, and translate it into an artistic language that captures both beauty and rawness, while staying true to my identity and the vision I want to share with the world.
Each new piece is a challenge to surpass myself never settling, never limiting myself to a single style, technique, or theme. I embrace the element of surprise, aiming to create unconventional compositions that surprise both myself and the viewer. I seek balance in thought, technique, color, and composition, but I also welcome the unexpected a child's spontaneity or a meticulous, sometimes strange precision.
Life and art are inseparable to me, deeply intertwined. I draw inspiration from accidents, experiences, and emotions, allowing them to guide my creative process. I strive for perfection, but I embrace the unexpected moments, the imperfections, that bring authenticity to my work.
My goal is to create work that is clean, alternative, original, and singular art that feels as though it comes from a place of uniqueness, as if crafted by someone with a special perspective. It’s about capturing the essence of humanity and time, while challenging the way we see and interact with art. I hope that my pieces invite viewers to explore new perspectives, and perhaps see a reflection of their own inner worlds.
