I come from a background dedicated to the art of tattooing. For several years, however, I have decided to devote myself more and more to painting, because it allows me to express myself fully, and also because this art has absorbed me more and more, it first fascinated then "bewitched": I don't see a future without my colors and my brushes. When I design a painting, I always start from an internal image, an intuition or a message from my subconscious; this leads me to visualize what my painting will be, and I move on to one or more preliminary drawings on paper. Then I focus on painting, I experience it in a liberating and satisfying way, I like to use as many shades of color as possible to bring my works to life. My style is a symbolist cubism, rich in allegories and bright colors, which I restore using very beautiful and particular pigments: tattoo pigments, mixed with acrylic or other mediums to obtain the desired color. as lively and "velvety" as possible.
