At the crossroads between abstract and figurative, my works are influenced by the changes in my life and in the surroundings where I live which are the underlying image for my art. Starting with the series Junkyard Symphony, my paintings gradually became more of a surrealist journey in the universe of the urban periphery. Allegorically recomposed, the devastating effects of junk invasion and consumerism on our living space, all these reminiscences of our daily waste are caught dancing, floating in their singularity. In more recent series like Personal Mythologies, Hybrid Playground or Synthetic Future, they even start creating their own story. With an increasing appearance of figurative elements and even insertions of pop art, works like Synthetic Future criticize capitalism, consumerism, waste or pollution, sending a warning sign to the future.
