“My paintings are my life story. I was inspired by all the events that happened in my life. I work with abstraction on purpose so that no one can understand what is happening in it – it’s more interesting for me.

The main driver of my practice is the study (contemplation) of the tension between abstract sensations: random and ideal, naive and knowledgeable, instinctive and superhuman. In my works, I look for this string, this tension, and put on it a mixture of visual references to cultural products that are relevant now: it can be advertising, fashion, cinema and even the works of other artists. In this way I capture the emotions, events and visual images of the times we live in.”
