fine art
This body of work is made out of aesthetic joy and necessity — necessity of the soul, that is.
Through oil paintings and colored pencil illustrations, I move through identity and imagination as a medium that translates what feels intimate into images.

BORN TO BE PROUD | SERIES
This collection is an unveiling of flesh, of soul, of the self beneath inherited masks.
Through painting, I explore the parts of my identity I've suppressed for years under the weight of shame, tradition, and expectation, searching instead for something mutable, instinctive, and fully my own.
Reds and incandescent hues pulse through the work like chromatic sensuality and liberation; the portraits hold gestures of seduction and domination; fruits, flowers, and the feline symbolize temptation, decadence, and power.
These paintings are not about rejecting where I come from, but about integrating every hidden fragment of myself into something unapologetically alive. This is me. Unveiled.

FURS AND FEATHERS | SERIES
This series is a collection of portraits of our loving partners in life. In them, I see a reflection of us in other species: beings who feel, bond, and exist alongside us in shared intimacy.
BESTIARY
My Bestiary is a series of tragicomic illustrations brought to life in colored pencil, and defined by a vibrant chromatic language and a whimsical, surreal approach to form. Each work depicts a hybrid being where the mechanical and the biological are seamlessly and fantastically combined, existing somewhere between invention and evolution. These creatures inhabit their own oneiric worlds, each carrying a distinct and extraordinary story made out of myths and dreams.
