My paintings begin as personal inspirations and narratives. They hide phantoms which are difficult to describe and arduous to recognize. Images vanish and sometimes reappear in shadow visions in my art. My work is all about discovering my inner emotions while looking at a face or a subject. I transform my feelings in marks and layers of colors and transparencies. I go beyond realism in my desire to capture resonant moments. I paint not a person but a time and state of mind. My painting process starts with a monochromatic underpainting, then I add values and colors in many layers of glazes that need to dry. For this reason I work simultaneously on different projects and also dedicate time for my sketchbook practice in ink, watercolor and gouache. I experiment using different tools and material with the ultimate satisfaction coming from continually inventing, stretching and improving myself.
