My painting reflects my own life. In the creation process, I explore my subconscious and never start from a preconceived idea. My work is completely intuitive and depends on my daily mood. It could be said that my works are abstractions of my imagination and of the feelings that arise at the moment of painting. It is all about the process of painting itself. In the end, what I want viewers to see is the painting, and it does not matter if they bring their own stories to it. I am in favor of pleasure and fantasy. My purpose is to create tensions between feeling, gesture, and color in seductive and sensual compositions. Similarly, my work is very physical. I work quickly, and that requires an enormous amount of energy. I am fascinated by large canvases. It is a challenge to paint on a large surface where I have the freedom to improvise. It encourages me to experiment with new ideas and techniques. I love surprise because it stimulates the viewer with incoherent aspects and unpredictable images.
