Understatements and embarrassing thoughts. I am interested in taboo subjects, the reflection of masculinity in femininity and the passions and pains of my environment.
I am a painter, poster artist, author of books and social actions. The medium is for me only a pretext to arrange and materialize my thoughts. I use a minimal color palette, looking for the final line between abstraction and figurative art. The figures and objects in my work are often simplified, reduced to synthetic lines and single color fill. I like a multidimensional approach to my activities, wanting it to provoke reflection.
