c.v. / bio 

For me, inspiration to create can occur anywhere, anytime, but the real depth of my work comes from my imagination.

When I compose my art, I try to express images as they appear to me and not always as they are in real life. In my work, I like to explore formations or forms whether man made, natural, or the human form. 

When painting, I work the surface through a repeated process with various brushes, palette knives or with my bare hands. Drawing with ink, pastels, charcoals or graphite also allows me to evolve and lead me into new directions, until it feels complete.

Mixed media and installations have also played a key role as an artist, allowing me to explore and create many interesting pieces.

All my creations are personal thoughts and recollections. I hope they are inspiring and pleasurable to those who view, purchase and share them.
