The research of my work is centred around the exploration of subtle and remote worlds, to be evoked within oneself and in the places of the soul.

What we are is determined by the totality of our inner experiences, the experience we share with others, the processing of our thoughts, feelings and dreams, like so many pieces of a mosaic that is being updated every moment within us.

My goal is to take people by the hand and lead them into secret, timeless places, passing through remote sensations, evocative images and forgotten emotions. This is an invitation to contemplation and imagination, which, beyond my specific personal quest, allows each viewer to find their own stories in each room, face and time.

That is why in my paintings nothing is represented as it is in reality, whether people or things. On the contrary, everything is metaphysical matter and dreamed dimension. The interior merges with the exterior, the conscious with the unconscious, the real with the symbolic, in dimensions where time and geographical distances do not exist.

To achieve this, both in oil painting and pencil illustrations, I use transparencies, which allow me to make feelings, thoughts and memories real that would otherwise not be visible.
