About me

I am an contemorary artist working in painting and scenography. My works are most often conceived as
conceptual painting series, each centered around one of the fundamental elements of painting — paint. This
element becomes the protagonist of the work, determining both the theme of the series and the painterly
approach. I invite the viewer to regard the painting not as a representation or a narrative in the mimetic sense, but as a manifestation of paint and color in its purest form — as pure as I can offer. My canvases do not
pretend to act like still lifes or landscapes; they openly declare: “What you are looking at is paint itself.”
