“It is in my paintings where I find myself. Through painting, I can see concretely my thoughts and understand where they want to lead me. I work with a lively palette and loose brushwork for maintaining the dialogue with my perceptions and feelings. I am inspired by what surrounds me. Flowers, trees, cats, people still lives are some of my favourite subjects.
A contemplative state pursues a sense of oneness that belongs to everything that surrounds me. The composition unfolds itself in more vibrant and vivid ways. That affects me and allows me to explore painting emotions during my creative process.”
