Chopin
The creative process of this series involves immersing myself in the world of Frédéric Chopin's music, translating its melodies into deeply personal visual expressions. I allow myself to be fully enveloped by the profound sensations the music stirs within me.
Using acrylic ink on wet paper, I strive to maximize the spontaneity of movement, letting the brush draw freely without deliberate guidance from what I see. By keeping my eyes closed, I ensure that my movements are guided solely by what I hear, allowing the music to flow through me and direct my brushwork.
Often, I concentrate on specific passages rather than the entire piece, aiming to distill the essence of those moments into clear and resonant visuals. Additionally, I play the same opera repeatedly while painting, layering my expressions over previous touches. This method enables me to capture the evolving nuances and deeper resonances of the music, reflecting how my emotional response develops and shifts with each encounter.

The Misty Heaven
This series shows objects floating in foggy and dreamy spaces. They are reminiscent of the saints floating in the sky seen in old masters’ work. […] Although I long for spontaneity, I have an instinctive tendency to do the opposite, so I often find myself […]

Innerscape
Some days, I found myself struggling with the dark side of myself, which sought to control me and drag me into the depths of shadow. […] Through this exploration, I hoped to transform the conversation around our inner battles, finding a place where I could be my true self without masking it in a facade of brightness.

Connection
As I gazed down from a plane at the glittering web of city lights, I was struck by how our world is woven from relationships. Some are born of genuine bonds, while others emerge from a sense of obligation, often blurring […]

Luca
In this series, I paint Luca, my dearest […] My focus is not on our relationship but on how I can transform him into different artistic expressions, letting the style I choose shape each portrayal.
