Something about me
What inspires me always in life is art and creativity.
Now, mature-aged, the artistic path is increasingly at the centre of my life.
The love to create, the admiration for nature, the devotion to beauty, the strength of transformation, the respect for the little things, the sense of mysterious, the awareness for the Human Being, searching for the spiritual, a holistic view… when I paint I find myself on this path… I find my inspiration.
My artwork is diverse… I like the experimental character and a strong expression.
When I encounter colours, shapes and lines, I bring movement into my pictures: powerful, sometimes even “stormy”, also playful and cheerful, deep and light, always looking for balance... always in dialogue with the colour…
