Artist's Statement I develop first and foremost creativity and spontaneity, looking for originality and finding inspiration in my surroundings; a colourful, almost naïve vision, where gesture has its importance. For me, art is a way to communicate my emotions and my sensibility while trying to offer a moment to dream, to lose oneself in cheerfulness, through the power of my colours and of my universe.
