Unleashing the Power of Authentic Expression

As an artist, my quest for true authenticity has shaped my creative journey. I have devoted myself to capturing the essence and untold stories behind every face I paint. Drawing inspiration from the timeless works of Spanish masters Goya and Ribera, I seamlessly blend their influence with my own artistic prowess – resulting in portraits that go beyond mere depiction, resonating with emotional depth and captivating narratives. Even though my own style is more abstract expressionism, I want to impart the same feeling of telling a story within the faces I paint.

Each stroke becomes an invitation to discover the emotions, experiences, and journeys that shape an individual’s soul. My ultimate aim is to reflect the intricate tapestry of humanity, allowing viewers to connect and empathize on a profound level. abstract psycho-social art
