What are the main topics you deal with in your practice?

Everyday life, colour, movement, trying to be amazed everyday by life and get inspired from it to create something unreal.

Who are the subjects of your works?

They’re the heart of my region, random people, enjoying life, animals, landscapes, all the ultra-ordinary things that surround me.

How do you define your artistic research in three words?

For me it’s always going out of your comfort zone, trying new things. Embrace freshness.

Who or what remains timeless for you?

Colour.

What are you dreaming of?

I’m already incredibly lucky to live off my creations. My dream is to keep expressing myself, to continue enjoying the act of creating, and to stay within the dream I’m already living.

Where do you find beauty?

Everywhere. The more I grow, the more I realise that beauty exists wherever you allow yourself to see it.

What’s your dream space and what’s in it?

A colourful world filled with inspiration in every direction, constantly evolving before my eyes, brimming with new things. I love creating a break from what I know and what I’m used to seeing. These are the kinds of environments that make me dream.
