In my work I focus on the psychological and emotional dimension of the characters portrayed. 

I always aim to leave room for interpretation in my paintings. I believe that ambiguity lends intrigue, appealing to our innate attraction to mistery. A smile might be present, if the viewer perceives it. The subtlety of expression can foster a sense of complicity between the viewer and the portrayed character - an intimate, secret story. If the expression was unquestionable, many untold stories might be overlooked.

Technically, I like to combine a classical approach to portraiture with a more contemporary painting style. I love to see my characters emerge from the remnants of intricate surfaces, as if embodying the cycle of rebirth from decadence. I have always interpreted life from the perspective of a Hegelian dialetic: my creative process is deliberately chaotic and contradictory in the making yet geared towards the achievement of a higher sense of harmony.
