In my paintings i am interested in creating a narrative abundant with figures and scenes which radiate human warmth, compassion and slight irony. My work outstandingly ranges between drawing to painting, between the fluent to the inarticulate, the sophisticated to the naïve and between the omnipotent to the limited.
