Who am I?
I am an artist who loves to explore different mediums of expression, an artist who tries, tries again, until finding balance... then turns everything upside down to see what will emerge from the chaos. From life.
I express the paradoxes that run through us, the clashing emotional forces, the exploration and acceptance of our inner selves.
The path of illness and healing.
Our fluidities.
Painting on wood
When I started painting, I quickly became frustrated with traditional canvas and brushes. I was looking for a different sensation, a different experience.
With wood as a support, and painting knives as tools, my expression expanded, and I developed my gestures.
Movements that speak to each other.
Painting with ink
Halfway between painting and drawing, ink opened a new door for me, a simpler, lighter expression of my emotions such as joy, serenity, and wonder.
I often practice it in the morning, upon waking, facing the rising sun.
Writing
From novels to poetry, with testimony in between, writing has been part of my journey since I was eleven.
It was my first gateway to my arts, my first source of expression and sharing.
It is one of my greatest joys.
Photography
For me, photography can be summed up in these words: ordinary miracles.
Whether it's in the flowers, the trees, the clouds, or the light, that's what I'm looking for. Those suspended moments when nature speaks to us, when we dare to become one with it, if we take the time.
Photography, yes, is about taking the time. The time to fully embrace the ephemeral.
Grace.
Hoping my art brings you what you may have needed,
