I reclaim painting as an ever-burning language: restless, contemporary and subversive. Through artisanal techniques and visual codes, the handmade and the digital continuously contaminate one another.
Multiplicity runs through my painting. Different pictorial languages collide; bodies merge with backgrounds; human forms become vegetal, human forms become vegetal or artificial; the artificial becomes human. My imagery moves between the sacred and the absurd, where Orthodox icons, advertisements and pixels overlap. I am interested in the tension between what is unique and what is serial, between the faces we inherit and the ones we fabricate. What appears singular is never entirely one. The one contains the many; the many can become one.
Behind bright palettes and playful surfaces, there is always a dissonance, a tragic undertone. Each portrait is a mirror of me and of the world I see, wearing the laughter that makes everything make sense.
