Art is my active meditation, my way to maintain and evolve my identity. It’s my escape and my scope in life.

I prefer figure study, especially showing woman in her daily routine or symbolic representation of her meaning on earth . I also enjoy painting landscapes, urban landscape and nature mort.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in real life shapes, colors and contrasts, also in charismatic people, their expressive poses or outfit . Emotions and impressions after watching a powerful movie are another source that bring me ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?I have a dream to open a painting studio in my community, where I can teach people to paint. A place to forget about fear of brush and where they would learn to express themselves . A studio where other artists can also gather and share their love for art.
