Windows from Within

 

From within, these intimate windows hold a private world of imagery that finds its way into my work. They gather experiences, moments from my life and personal impressions of the world I carry with me.

 

In all my work, I try to look inward, drawing on my own experiences to create a kind of autobiography, one that uses a world rich in symbolism to trace my emotional wanderings.

 

Intense experiences feed directly into my artistic process. They compel me to paint a dreamlike, fantastical reality through which I can come to terms with and overcome my personal circumstances. I seek to do so through a beauty that can heal. A colourful, welcoming and joyful world helps me face the many shades of grey that surround us.

 

Each piece is a unique window, a ‘Viva la Vida’ (‘Long Live Life’) filled with brushstrokes that reflect a long creative process shaped by every small detail. At its heart is the fleeting human gesture, captured in moments full of attitude and strength.

 

I wanted to recreate that spirit of transformation and renewal. With my brushes, I give shape to personal reflections and concerns through gesture, colour and symbolism. Every detail is deliberate and carries meaning drawn from my own interpretation.

 

Each oil painting represents a different moment in my life, with its own state of mind and feeling. They all share one thing: joy as my way of facing life.
