As a professional artist, I specialize in capturing the essence of my subjects through direct observation and drawing from life. My work is rooted in the belief that the energy of the moment is what gives art its power. I bring this immediacy to each piece through a fast and fluid approach, using ink and gouache to produce dynamic and expressive artwork. This hands-on method ensures that every image I create reflects the true spirit of the subject.
My practice spans a range of mediums and formats. While I am particularly known for my portraits drawn in situ, I also produce large-scale works such as woodcuts, murals, and paintings. Additionally, I explore the potential of printmaking, creating unique prints that push the boundaries of traditional techniques. I also incorporate sewing and bookbinding into my work, offering a tactile dimension that adds depth and texture to my pieces.
I approach each project with a clear vision, whether it’s inspired by a political cause, a personal connection to music or performance, or the vibrancy of the environment around me. With a career rooted in both artistic integrity and community engagement, my work is driven by a passion for creating pieces that are not only visually compelling but also deeply connected to the world they reflect.
