I paint because color has become my way of speaking.
My work is born from gesture, from the movement of the body in a continuous line, and from listening to what happens while I paint. I don't start from a pre-established image: I let color, texture, and movement slowly build the painting.
My encounter with Mark Rothko's work in 2001 made me discover the emotional power of color. Since then, my research has developed towards an increasingly free and gestural language, where color is not decoration, but presence, energy, and memory.
Through painting I seek a space of freedom and connection, with myself and with the viewer.
