About

In my work, I am deeply inspired by the sea and marine organisms. I explore mixed media techniques, using acrylic, spray, markers, embroidery and needle punch interventions, and sometimes playing with felt and textiles. I also occasionally venture into sculptural works or design, such as chandeliers and small installations, when the driftwood calls for me.

With my paintings, I want to provoke happiness and curiosity, but also elevate the space and atmosphere in which they are located.

I explore the relationship between light and shadow, neon and pigment, visible and tactile.

I experience my work through play and experimentation, although with a serious approach to each project.
