My artistic journey
Where it all began
Art isn't just a passion; it's a fundamental language, more natural than words, and has always been. It is a way of living, communicating, and moving things in the world. This is where we invite you to explore the essence of a life lived through art.
Art: my way of life
Here I am again with a pen in my hand, with the purpose of writing and not drawing, which is my natural way of communicating. Asking myself: Where did you go? Which path did you choose? Again. Imaginary? Virtual? Exploring the traces on human bodies I come across the play of skin and shadow. Cracked with melancholy, a longing void. A thought carried away like a trace in the sand erased by the wind. A thought drawn like a pale trace in time.
Sailing through life's canvas
My artistic journey has been shaped by the continuous adventure of "sailing through life." Each experience, achievement, and unique perspective gathered along the way has become a space on my personal canvas, enriching my vision and informing my creative process. This journey is my ongoing inspiration, providing endless material for expression.
Biography
My practice is rooted in the classical discipline of painting. Today, my work explores the tension between traditional craftsmanship and digital logic. I am currently investigating how generative algorithms and FA2 smart contracts can transform tactile mediums into decentralized, digital-first experiences.

My wealth.
What is my God?
My strength and the wind.
My only homeland?
