Constant renwewal
watercolour
Hope is a central theme in my landscapes, expressions of a deep connection with nature and an unchanging beauty
Lush greenery represents vitality and constant renewal in the cycle of the seasons, underlining how hope persists even in the darkest of times.
Moisture then is a sign of resilience, of the persistence of life even in the midst of aridity, showing that hope can blossom in unexpected places.
Finally, light is the beacon that guides us through the darkness, a reflection of hope that shines constantly, a flame that never goes out, directing us towards renewal and transformation.
No matter how dark the horizon, there is always a new dawn coming

Sunny stairs in Girona
watercolour
Sometimes even a pile of rubbish with beautiful lighting can become a work of art
Every day
I look,
I hear,
I perceive
my surroundings.
When I paint, I relive these sensations.
I believe that if we pay close attention,
every object
and every moment
contains the Universe within them

Light
watercolour
I share this great artistic passion with artists, gallery owners, collectors and friends from all over the world through moments of human and artistic growth
A dream to be immortalised on paper in complete freedom, watercolouring almost with your eyes closed, to better feel your emotions and be able to represent them with joy.
A music of colours that, starting from our soul, spreads around us, in everyday life, even in the most difficult moments, however and whenever the joy of living...
A hope: that each one of us may feel the desire to discover those riches within us grow, remembering that beyond reason there is also the dream

Using different tones and shades, I try to capture the beauty that inhabits the places I visit, giving them a sensitivity that doubles as a latent poetry
