From my earliest years, I was captivated by images and their expressive power. This fascination led me to begin drawing and redrawing incessantly. I drew anything and everything: comic book heroes, faces, characters, and more.

Indeed, comic books have had a profound influence on my artistic consciousness. They marked the beginning of my artistic journey and my earliest creative endeavors.

My first artistic creation was at the age of 10, when I began recreating works from comics, magazines, and stories using drawing, collage, and cut-out techniques.

To this day, I continue to express myself through drawing, feeling a deep-seated need to do so. It is a form of communication for me, a way to express ideas and emotions. My work encompasses a wide range of subjects, including fashion, architectural and furniture design, perspective, illustration, and caricature.

Completely immersed in the realm of painting, I feel a sense of detachment from myself as I enter a timeless state, driven by a spiritual force. I work in a unique and peculiar atmosphere that straddles the boundary between the real and the imaginary.

I do not seek to satisfy the viewer but rather to satisfy myself and to connect with my own reality, needs, feelings, ideas, and the dreams that inhabit me.
