ALL ARTWORKS
My artworks are contemporary mixed-media paintings in which landscape, the human figure, and memory converge. I combine acrylic paint with various materials and techniques to create layered surfaces, relief, and a weathered aesthetic. Heavy gel, image transfers, pastels, watercolors, and inks are applied over and alongside one another, imbuing each piece with rich texture and intricate details. I draw inspiration from landscapes, the sea, old buildings, weathered walls, and memories of the past. Elements such as peeling paint, concrete, old boats, lettering, and other signs of age take on new meaning in my paintings. I am particularly fascinated by the beauty of imperfection and the contrast between decay and renewal. My work ranges from figurative and semi-abstract landscapes to more abstract compositions. The interplay of color, texture, and layering ensures that the pieces reveal something new depending on the viewing angle and distance. Each painting is handcrafted and possesses a unique character. My goal is to create art that is not only visually appealing but also continues to captivate the viewer through its details, texture, and underlying story.
