My work exists mainly in terms of colors and shapes, much of it coming from an initial impulse that is then worked on and elaborated.

I begin with an idea based on  the different places I have  traveled to or emotions that echo strong moments of my life. I paint to translate this first impulse on the canvas, adding layer after layer letting the painting evolves. This process can take several weeks and even months until I am completely satisfied with it.

My paintings are experiential  allowing the viewer to discover the canvas, free to imagine and find his own meaning, taking him on a journey between seen and unseen, the real and the imaginary .
