Spring flower (L'une 108)

Concept

- What was your first experience with/discovery of art? What made you want to become an artist?
Since I was a child, I've been passionate about drawing. Besides any other typical activity of childhood, drawing was always a constant. I've always loved doing it, in fact I practically identified myself with this occupation - I don't think I could refer to a specific moment in time when I said/or thought - "hey, I want to become an artist!"

- Are there any key themes, messages or theories behind your work?
There are key themes, like L'une series, Under my skin, Alter Ego, or Comments of Picasso's art.. But there is no specific message behind my work.... there ´is only feeling, genuine feeling. I just feel overwhelmed and hypnotized by the beauty of creation.

- Could you tell us a bit about your artistic approach? (Style, medium and specific techniques.)
Most of my works are figurative, but I also have an abstract landscapes series. Generally speaking, what we call abstract painting could fall into various genres or categories, but my tryout in this field could be labeled as lyrical abstract. While my work in the figurative area could be simply associated to contemporary realism or contemporary figurative.
I've always been a very versatile artist, I've experienced a lot of different insights and perspectives, I've embraced various styles or genres, depending on my inner evolution and on the faces of my evolution as an artist. At some point in this evolution, I've even felt like creating a new style, a style which I called Magic Expressionism. It's about a series of compositions that remind of the surrealistic current, as I put together elements that could suggest an oneiric state, but, at the same time, the personal manner and the visual expression I used set them apart.

- Please write a personal quote/sentence that best represents you as an artist (in your own words, max. 30 words.)
I'm a very creative person, so I just create!
