BIO GRAPHY
“I am a person who is easily bored with routine, that is why my work is full of imagination, fantasy, magic and emotions that my subconscious combines with my experience in reality, to create a unique version of life. Ideas about what is real detonate in my mind as apparently imaginary worlds, I like to create images from a black background, which is the color of mystery and depth; the end result is as if my paintings have been brought out of a deep sleep. My work shows a reality expressed through the surreal world that exists in the depths of my mind.”
