I believe that I have found a way to reinvent painting by starting from the material, the paint, itself. If you look closely, figures and images automatically appear in it. I leave them or wipe them away. The imagination and concentration do the rest. It doesn't interest me in which style my work can be placed. I only ask for an attentive eye. † Exhibitions at home and abroad. Collections: Many corporate and private collections worldwide
