SUMMARY OF MY WORK
Along with the art collective Vira-lata and my experience as a
street/ public artist, I develop since 2007 a different kind of work
(the one presented here) where line expression takes the lead, influenced by illustration and comics and leaving aside wall textures. Speaking a
language without words, reflecting an ambiguous reality.
My work is mainly oriented towards the search for oneself, in
all aspects we share, personal stories and
also tales from others.
My ideas are open, they transform and enrich themselves continuously through experimentation, which I consider fundamental for my evolution as an artist.
