Artist Statement

As a figurative painter, my interest is in the representation of human beings with all their troubles and preoccupations. Spiritual, material, social and sexual aspects of our lives are in the mainstream of this troubles. Gods and goddesses of Mythology are not that different but like cartoon characters, they do everything with excess. This is the exaggeration that had inspired many artists and this is why I have so much fun interpreting these epic events crowded by so many weird (but nevertheless so human) creatures.
