STATEMENT
My painting research project relies on familiar iconographic codes to transition into fictional, almost otherworldly realities. With a peculiar realism and a silent but tense atmosphere, I seek to penetrate the viewer's inner world, to retrieve images that identify with their familiar experiences and personal existential concerns in order to create a mental or real dialogue with them.
