Biography

Coming from a family of artists, art has always shaped my life. Mostly self-taught, my background in art history and experience at Xavier Hufkens gallery give me a unique perspective on art. Creating allows me to process the world—working intuitively, always drawn to color, light, and composition.

I work on two ongoing series to keep my practice dynamic, allowing me to explore all facets of my creativity while continually refining my artistic path.

One body of mostly earlier work consists of fictional colorful landscapes that invite viewers into dreamlike worlds—balancing beauty and eeriness, wonder and ambiguity. Starting with digital sketches and natural references, I build scenes through imaginary compositions, studying light and shadow often with maquettes before translating them onto canvas.

For the other more recent body of work, my focus shifted to still-life portraits of flowers. I have an obsession with them and their impact. I carefully compose scenes with hand-picked flowers where I play with scale, lighting, and contrast, blending influences from the Old Masters with a bold, contemporary and personal perspective. I treat my subjects almost like theater characters, putting them in a scene with both natural and artificial lighting. Shadows come to life and play key roles themselves, enhancing the tension between depth and flatness, reality and imagination.
