I used to dream in colour…. Oil on canvas (2026)

I am an abstract artist inspired by a diverse but complementary set of inputs and influences, that includes classical and contemporary music, science, nature, mythology, combined with the energy and ideology of art movements from the impressionists to contemporary abstract expressionists, my paintings seek to convey a subjective interpretation of the innermost feelings of the self

I invite you to explore my art through the links below:
