My artistic practice explores the human condition, emotions, memory, desire, and spirituality. Through painting and sculpture, I mainly work in a figurative and realistic approach, exploring what is revealed and what remains hidden. My current project, “The Mystery of the Veil,” uses the veil as a symbol of both revelation and concealment. It becomes a boundary between the visible and the invisible, between our inner identity and the image we present to the world. Through my work, I seek to create a dialogue between the body, matter, and thought, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own human experience.
