I paint parts of female figures, my objective is not to paint someone specific, but the representation of the female universe with all its beauty, tenderness, fragility, strength, dichotomy and contradiction... but at the same time, of humanity in general.
The main concept of my art is linked to the mysterious side, we never know a person completely, not even ourselves, there is always an unknown part of the whole. We do not see the complete reality, that is why I put black lines in my paintings, giving the idea of the unknown and cinemascope, as if each frame were a representation of a frozen frame of a scene from a movie.
My work is very graphic, clean and soft, it is figurative and contemporary, delicate and strong, it is sensual, with a direct and simple style, inspired by digital illustration, graphic design, photography and cinema.
