My paintings have an unreal plane taken mostly from real-life situations. From the urban pomposity to the rustic memories curious images take birth in my canvas, My paintings read like a story.
"I can play in my own space, I can place my images as I want, and I can create unbelievable stories that you have to believe. Just like my grandmother`s story that I grew up with"
