Artist Statement

Using traditional drawing and painting, I try to show the traces of what I feel is real, both physical and symbolic. I focus my work on the human figure representation and the general possibility of human creation, which I believe allows us to [re]discover and [re]build ourselves. I keep in mind the concept of transformation and death, taking death as both biological cessation and acceptance of impermanence.
