"How did you get into my dream last night?"
I am a contemporary surrealist painter driven by a curiosity for the peculiar and the strange. My art is my voice, my alternate language, where each brushstroke and each hue conveys emotions and concepts that often elude verbal expression. Working primarily in oil on canvas and gouache on paper, my pieces are the manifestations of an unfiltered exploration of the subconscious. I do not compromise on the subjects I choose to depict; they are reflections of my inner world, vivid and unrestrained, creating a seamless transition between abstraction and illusionism. This is central to my belief that there are no clear borders between genres, only fluid passages that connect them. My creative process is deeply influenced by a sense of otherness, much like the works of Francis Bacon, Kay Sage, and Yves Tanguy. My paintings often come to life in small sessions spread over several days, mostly during the late evening and into the night. The late hours are a strong base for my imagination, a time when the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, and the subconscious rises to the surface. In my studio, the canvas becomes a portal to alternate realities. Here, I channel the emotions, dreams, and fleeting thoughts that traverse my mind. Each painting is a narrative, a fragment of a larger story that seeks to engage and challenge the viewer. I strive to create a dialogue through my art, inviting observers to step into my dreams, to question, and to find their own meanings within the layers of color and form. My work is an invitation to explore the hidden realms, to embrace the ambiguity and the beauty of the bizarre.
I understand my art as a testament to the endless possibilities of the imagination. It is a celebration of the strange and the unfamiliar, a journey into the depths of the subconscious. I invite you to lose yourself in these dreamscapes, to question the nature of reality, and to find your own path through the surreal worlds I create. Through my paintings, I hope to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity, to remind us all that the boundaries of our reality are as fluid and expansive as our dreams.
