“It all begins with music. Listening to music is what inspires me the most. Then comes drawing, almost always in charcoal. From there, I work quickly and intuitively with acrylics. I let the piece evolve on its own, guided less by a rational plan and more by the atmosphere or mood I want to convey. I pay special attention to the features and gestures, because it’s in the small details that I find what I want to express.(...) Art, for me, is both a mirror and a refuge. It’s the place where truth —often uncomfortable —finds its space. Through art you can communicate emotions or lived situations that cannot be expressed in any other way. Painting is also a form of self-investigation. It works like doors that open into a world to be discovered, almost always unexpectedly.(...) Yes. I used to think painting would help me communicate with others, but now I believe it helps me more to communicate with myself.”
