Air (2023)- Acrylic cotton canvas, 100 x 50 cm

I like to paint above all abstract and colorfull things that fill my soul with a particular affinity for abstract and vibrant compositions that resonate with my inner self. Painting as a expresion of my internal emotions through the language of color. Music and color give life to my day.
“The expresion of emotions through color is the heart of my works.”

COLOUR EMOTIONS (2024)- Acrylic cotton canvas, 50 x 50cm

Artist Statement

The main reason for my works is color and their combinations. How to combine color with different techniques and textures to bring joy to life. I like to see that in the space created and change your mood. My inspiration is my inner feelings, my soul and the way to get out my emotions like music. For me the color and music go hand to hand, both can change a people day in a positive way.

HAPPINESS-HAPPY 01 (2024)- Acrylic cotton canvas, 50x50 cm

I try to create works with bright colors that take me to different worlds, that awaken sensations and sometimes the combination of contrasting colors between them give the painting richness. I like to try new things for give my paintings special and different touch.

HAPPINESS-HAPPY 06 (2024)- Acrylic cotton canvas, 30x30 cm

I like to paint above all abstract and colorful things that fill my soul. Painting as meaning of expressing inner emotions through color. Music and colors gives life to my day.
The expresion of emotions through color is the heart of my works.
