About me
Capture essences, portray energies
Drawing, creativity and design have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. In 2018, I decided to go deeper into the roots of my artistic passion, daring to focus all my energy on my career as a creator of custom portraits and own paintings.
My works are nourished by my professional experience as an illustrator and designer, but also by my vital background, thanks to which I have learned to know people by observing through their eyes.
Each landscape transmits an essence, each portrait represents a legend, each drawing hides stories that have not yet been told. Or, at least, not in my way.
Back to the origins
I was born and have always lived in Levantine lands. For centuries, the Mediterranean has been an inspiration for great artists, and also for me. The light, the colours, its landscapes, its people… The “terreta” has a unique aura that captivates and conquers.
Starting from this premise, this project means for me to return to my origins. I wanted to change screens for brushes, pencils and textures. To return to the delicacy of line and colour, to the calm of silence where you can only hear the scratch of the brush on the canvas.
I am interested in stories that are not told, what is not said and what can be intuited by observing. Beauty is found in the most unexpected corners and a single glance can hide an entire universe.
