After studying the Old Masters I developed my own style, using varnishes that create a rich depth on the canvas - combining transparent colours with opaque, thick paint with thin, bold confident brush strokes with finely detailed realism, thick textures with smooth softness… all the contrasts that life brings to us… on the canvas.

These techniques are combined to express freedom, whether it be in communication, dress, lifestyle, emotions, work or relationships. I am addicted to Argentinean Tango and love movement, so I adapt it to dancing, music, sport, or the elements in landscapes.

The common theme through all of my art is controlled freedom and movement. My aim is to stimulate the imagination, so that the viewer becomes the artist. I create a brush stroke; their mind fills in the gap.
