  • I am a professional painter inspired by travel, freedom and maritime and space exploration.

    Born into a family of sailors and scientists, my work is the result of research driven by travel, exploration and experimentation, transcending mental and cultural boundaries in the service of a universal culture.

    My art seeks to explore, reveal and invent in order to reveal unknown real and imaginary worlds and to create links between worlds, eras and people.

    I combine subjects, techniques and sources of inspiration to create works of art that surprise and remind us of something bigger.

    My favourite technique is tempera painting, an ancient technique. This is a water-based paint used during the Renaissance and is long-lasting, non-yellowing and non-tarnishing.
