ABOUT ME

​

I have been immersed in my art world since early childhood, drawing and painting wherever and whenever it was possible. One of my fondest memories as a child is going to my aunt's on Sundays. She used to bring me a box full of wax crayons, and the bright colours, their scent and the possibilities to draw anything I wanted was enough to make me forget everything else. It felt magical every time.

 

At fifteen years old I painted my first oil painting and since then it's been my favourite medium, along with ink for illustrations. Thanks to books, I got to know and admire the works of the romantics and the Pre-Raphaelites, especially Turner, Delacroix & Waterhouse. Other great artists I love are the ethereal Godward, surrealist Dali and the Art Nouveau artists and designers Mucha, Beardsley and Gaudí.

​

Combining my passion for books, history, architecture and the endless inspiration from all the beauty that God gave us, my aim is to inspire viewers to have a fresh and modern outlook on the traditional and, most of all, to bring joy with my artworks. Specialising in oil painting, I bring together a contrasting palette on a white background to create vibrant displays of colour.
