I paint to communicate. What I feel inside is immense, luminous, and sometimes unexplainable, and only art allows me to bring it out and share it. When I paint, I don’t focus on the finished piece; I let my hands follow the rhythm of my inner world while I listen to stories, music, or documentaries. In this way, my personal universe—filled with emotions, memories, and dreams—becomes colors and shapes on the canvas. I don’t seek to understand it all, only to let inspiration flow through me.

My paintings are inhabited by endless swirls, always moving yet still in the present moment. There you’ll find animals from tropical forests, secret gardens, surreal landscapes, and visions that seem impossible. I play with pointillism, with fractals, and with the illusion of color that changes with the light, inviting the viewer to discover something new every time.

I want my art to evoke Silence, that deep Silence where the real questions and their inevitable answers can arise. My creative process is sacred: I cannot negotiate my inspiration or my way of creating, because it would lose its magic.

I don’t see myself as different or special. I am just another human being, expressing and communicating what I cannot say any other way. I am an empty circle, a consciousness that perceives and wonders, and everything else is a mystery.
