“My paintings show my passion for life and look for balance between the nature and human being. Over the years, I have explored many mediums —painting in oils and watercolors, using acrylic, shooting fine art nature photographs, even creating expressionistic artwork that incorporates mixed mediums. My art captures flora and fauna in danger in our planet and shows how human beings relate to our world. My travels have become an infinite source of inspiration and reflect the influence of nature on the human mind. I work with realistic and dynamic figures, using natural and voluptuous colors, organic forms and earth tones that are the deep expression of my vitality, mood as much as my culture”.
