It was through a personal development full of challenges that I one day discovered watercolour. At the time I was experimenting with other techniques, before settling on the one which let me express myself best: oil painting. I’ve been painting freely ever since, with a liberty I use to explore a wide range of themes.

It’s at the same time the people I meet, places I visit, events that happen – that I want to convey through my paintings.
