statement
My flowers, seeds or leaves are more than mere objects. Their tension, rigor and almost perfect visualization take shape on an emblematic Celtic-inspired background symbolizing the nature and mysteries of the feminine. My artworks do not only represent the reality of the "still life objects" I paint, but also the unique and intimate interpretation of emotions, memories and human relationships. The settings I apply are modest and minimalist: few objects can stand alone to make a complete composition dominated by a critical use of shadows which produces a dramatic staging effect.
