“My work is guided by the intellectual act of conceptualization. The inspiration comes from its narrative; which creates a flow. Sometimes it evokes specific emotions and some series are based on the study of a form; while others come from a close observation of reality. Any chosen subject is just a departing point to explore the relationship between shapes; colours and materials. A former printer and printmaker; I am interested in series and multiples. From one concept; my work results in an incredible number of variations. The emotional charge of each piece is different and consequently; the response of the viewer changes as well. This aspect excites me. Every explored idea brings me to the next project. I love to choose the technique which fits my intuition the best: watercolour; dry pigments; wax; pencil; acrylic... on paper or canvas. I mix media; and images range in size from almost miniature; to larger works. “
