I am fascinated by humanity: our capacity to conquer the earth and the space, our capability of doing great things, acts of kindness, mercy and compassion. In the same time, we are so fragile, frightened and mortal.

Whether I paint figurative or abstract, my paintings are always in between this dichotomy: fragility and eternity.

For because of the fragility we are in need of each other, and because of the eternity that need makes sense.
