My work is a balancing act between the Apollonian and the Dionysian, the Northern and Southern cultures, expressing contrasting lived experiences in representational and abstract works that complement each other.

The current Encounter series, represents figures, boats, birds, islands and shells interacting in narratives suggestive of struggles in life and art. The abstract series The Elements, Constellations, Notes of the Earth, combine geometrical shapes and free, gestural, strong calligraphic marks. The natural world represented in symbolic and metaphoric associations, the four elements and cardinal points, music and literature, are constant sources of inspiration.

The emphasis of my work is on transformation and chance, prioritizing quality of form and technique. I want the viewer to experience refuge and self-reflection, and a certain harmony which I see as related to beauty and the spiritual, all very much needed in today’s world.
