On this page, I share what drives my work : its momentum and the way each piece takes shape.
The Starting Point: Emotions and Paradoxes
I primarily explore paradox in its broadest sense—what coexists without naturally belonging together, such as conflicting emotions or opposing materials.
My work is also inspired by what I feel in response to my everyday environment. From joy to anger, through solitude, these emotions are never neutral. They are intense, positive or negative, often both at once.
My images give visible form to inner states.
Why Textile?
I chose natural wool because it belongs to everyday life. It is a material associated with comfort and utility, whose beauty is often overlooked. I value presenting it in a more precious way, as an artistic medium.
In my work, it becomes both surface and field of color. Upon this woven foundation, other media—paint, ink, and spray—bring relief and contrast.
I compel them to coexist.
Color, Line, and Visual Language
Color is central to my artistic approach. I subvert its traditional meaning to create new narratives. Blue, for instance, no longer reflects calm or serenity, but unease
I use bold, assertive hues to reinforce, support, and emphasize emotion. Above all, I am drawn to the emotional charge they carry.
In parallel, the black line is another pillar of my visual language. It creates contrast and gives forms a strong graphic presence. This element connects my work to the worlds of comics, pop culture, and urban art.
Figures and Objects
My works are always figurative, depicting characters or everyday objects.
The figures are almost always female, likely because they carry something of myself. They embody what I call the “non-ideal” : flawed yet powerful and charismatic identities.
I imagine ambiguous, vibrant characters that liberate us from the burden of perfection.
As for objects, I select them for the emotions they evoke—whether tied to a memory, a context, or a particular era.
What I Seek to Evoke
I do not aim to provoke a specific reaction. I know my works may attract, unsettle, or repel—and I accept that. However, what the viewer feels does not belong to me. I am responsible for what I place within the piece, but not for what others project onto it.
At times, an external interpretation reveals perspectives I had not considered, which I find deeply enriching. The viewer then becomes the bearer of meaning. This exchange of roles, even momentarily, reinforces the paradox at the heart of my work.
What Is Non-Negotiable
I do not create reproductions. Each artwork is unique, conceived and executed as such.
Even when working from someone else’s idea, it is never dictated by a fixed visual brief. Of course, dialogue exists, but the image and the way the piece takes form remain my own—otherwise, it ceases to be an artwork.
