MY STUDIOS .........

Artist statement: 

I try to express the different stages of the mind when affected by strong emotions, visions, traumas etc. I find the female energy very powerful with its manifold possibilities. I may place the female figure in the center of a spiritual expression as a visionary woman or I may portray her in her most fragile and vulnerable moments. I work from life drawings of people I feel strongly connected with and inspired by, I take references from my own photos or I unlock the power of imagination to allow ghosts to reveal themselves.

I like to feel free with the subjects I want to express and always seek to break any restrictive boundaries. 

I treat each painting as unique and want it to be able to exist on its own.
If a link appears between several paintings it is only the manifestation of a strong desire bursting out like a recurrent obsession... 
I work also with photography, video and small sculptures.
