I create art from deep within my soul, breaking surfaces, chasing depth layer by layer. Driven by curiosity to unveil anatomy and beyond.

Huge murals, no question. That’s where the work really comes alive for me. I like the pressure, the scale, and the physical intensity of painting something that can completely take over a space. On a big wall, the energy hits harder, the movement breathes more, and the whole piece feels less like an image and more like a living presence.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere: in anatomy, nature, spirituality, pop culture and the strange tension between beauty and destruction. I’m drawn to things that feel raw and alive, and that make me feel slightly unsettled. Many ideas start with curiosity and grow through instinct once I begin painting. I like images that make an immediate impact but continue to reveal more the longer you look at them.
