As a visual artist, I focus on the human figure as a way to explore emotion, presence, and connection. My work is driven by a search for serenity: an attempt to create moments of stillness, contemplation, and breath within the accelerated and overstimulated reality of contemporary life.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Sciences, I have always been interested in how images communicate, how they can evoke emotions, reveal inner states, and create a space for connection between the subject and the viewer. This interest has led me to explore the human figure through different forms of intimacy, vulnerability, and presence.

My work is primarily figurative and rooted in oil painting. I am interested in the tension between the stillness of the painted image and the constant movement of contemporary life. Women, flowers, birds, and elements of nature appear throughout my work as ways of approaching states that are difficult to articulate directly: calm, refuge, silence, vulnerability, and the need to pause.

In my recent work, poetry has become an important starting point. The poems come before the images, allowing the paintings to emerge from an emotional and poetic territory rather than from a literal representation. I am interested in translating the atmosphere of a poem into an image and allowing the viewer to inhabit that space in their own way.

This search for stillness is also present in the physical act of painting. Paint moves from the tube to the palette, from the palette to the brush, and from the brush to the canvas. What begins as movement gradually becomes stillness. The material process of painting therefore becomes part of the subject itself: a slow, physical practice in contrast with the speed and immateriality of contemporary life.

My paintings seek to offer a moment to breathe. They are not an escape from the world, but a temporary space within it, where the pace can slow down and the act of looking can become a form of presence.

For me, painting is ultimately a search for that pause: a quiet place where we can stop, look, and simply breathe.
