My work is based on new plastic ideas that are embodied in a constant dialogue between form and colour, taking on limitless emotional colours. Technological experiments in a combination of oil - smalt and gouache - pastel, lead to an endless search for motifs, where the pulse of the Authentic and the present is felt.
