Art Statement

Dreams are my main source of inspiration: since I can remember, my dreams have always been more powerful than reality, often disturbingly lucid. I couldn't avoid this, so I found a way to make it useful. This might be the reason I’ve always been drawn to the mysteries of the unconscious, as well as to old tales, fairy tales, and mythology: all of which possess the inner power to answer personal and cultural questions and provide meaning. Since childhood, I’ve craved answers: imagining surreal worlds helps me better understand myself and, by extension, the human experience, Nature, and Life itself.

I find myself illustrating not just stories, but metaphors for life experiences through a symbolic language. Each detail in my paintings carries a piece of a more intricate story, a crucial moment, like a snapshot of a tiny section of the human inner world.

For me, painting is about capturing life’s complexities and presenting them in a more digestible way, inviting viewers to feel comfortable with their own inner struggles and, at the same time, explore different perspectives. I try to provide answers, but I often end up asking even more questions.

Acrylics, oils, pencils, and digital illustration are my go-to mediums.

Having been deeply influenced by my theatrical experiences, I’ve come to cherish the relationship between my art and its viewers. This has instilled in me a profound love and need for interaction and sharing, as I watch people engage with my work, listen to their thoughts, and feel their emotions. Art, for me, is also about forging these connections, stimulating authentic conversations where meaning is shared and felt.

It’s such an enriching and energizing life experience: probably the best part of the whole process.
