My work explores the relationships between space, color, light, and perception.
I often begin with a figurative source—a landscape, an interior, a figure, or a visual memory—that serves as the starting point for the composition. As the creative process unfolds, this initial image gradually transforms. Forms become simplified, planes shift, lines find their rhythm, and color gains its own autonomy. The work slowly moves away from representation, opening a space where figuration and abstraction coexist.
My background in architecture has profoundly shaped the way I build an image. It taught me to think in terms of space, masses, lines of force, solids and voids. In my work, space is never merely a background; it becomes an active element of the composition. Forms attract, oppose, and balance one another. Color is not simply descriptive—it structures space, reveals tensions, and creates presence.
I never begin with a fully predetermined composition. An intention may exist—a series, a question, or a visual direction—but I always leave room for discovery. The first forms and colors emerge almost blindly, without trying to control the outcome. Gradually, an image begins to reveal itself.
From that moment on, chance no longer leads the process, but the dialogue continues. I observe what emerges, erase, adjust, move, and rebalance forms, colors, and relationships within the composition. Every intervention opens new possibilities to which I respond in turn. The work develops through this continuous dialogue between what reveals itself and the choices I make. I discover the image myself as it gradually comes into being.
Each series develops its own visual language.
The Cocoon series explores the tensions that shape space. Forms initially appear contained within dense structures before balances gradually shift. Energy circulates, gathers, and is released, transforming the composition from within.
With Inner Cartography, space becomes an inner territory. Lines, planes, and pathways create mental landscapes in constant transformation, where memory, perception, and imagination meet. Rather than depicting a specific place, these works open a contemplative space that welcomes multiple interpretations.
The Grey series explores processes of emergence. A vital energy gathers at the heart of the composition, gradually transforms, and gives rise to a new form. What remains hidden is often as important as what becomes visible.
Watercolor, oil painting, and digital art are three complementary expressions of the same artistic inquiry.
In my watercolors, the landscape remains recognizable, yet the succession of planes, the rhythms, the relationships of color, and the treatment of light already suggest a movement toward abstraction. Oil painting allows me to continue my exploration of human presence, while digital art offers a freedom of composition in which space itself becomes the true subject of the work.
I do not seek to impose a single interpretation.
I want the viewer's eye to move freely through the image, gradually discovering the relationships between forms, colors, and space. Each viewer brings their own memories, emotions, and imagination. Rather than delivering a fixed meaning, my work offers an experience of perception and contemplation that continues to unfold in the gaze of the viewer.
I seek less to represent the world than to reveal an image in the process of becoming. Each work is an exploration, each series opens a new territory, and together they extend the same ongoing dialogue between structure, color, light, and perception.
