Statement:
My aim is to create an imaginary world like fantasy places, visionary architecture or funny situations, always with a strong depth effect which almost seems to suck the viewer in. At the same time I want to catch the light and simultaneously to break it, like crystals do and to create a tree dimensional illusion.
Generally, my work moves between painting and drawing, figuration and abstract, between illusion and reality.
