Statement
My practice springs from a personal and intimate narrative, in which the relation to the medium is as important as the references I draw upon.
The human figure has been a recurring subject of my research and practice. My approach to the body is often sentimental,
in the extent to which I tend to focus upon aspects concerning mortality and fragility, with a nostalgic look.
I am inspired by a multitude of sources - readings, images, daily life - which come to inhabit my imagination prior to becoming new visual narratives.
Allegory – understood as a non-literal form – has always been a valuable source in my research. Through my work, I aim to evoke rather than to describe.
Drawing, which has been at the core of my practice, allows me to develop my work fluidly, mark after mark, in a repeated initiation, staged within the arena of the paper.
