Everything happened in that fleeting moment of which we were unaware

These pieces serve as pocket cartographies, emerging from my current creative exploration. Here, the vehicle represents the boundary between an intimidating exterior and a private refuge.The work investigates a paradoxical instant: a circular journey, a car as a home, and light as the sole constant in the universe.It is a silent chronicle of my ongoing studio research on displacement and belonging.Often, the immense finds its truest sanctuary in the small.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice stems from a biography defined by displacement: sixteen relocations that transformed my notion of ‘home’ into something portable.
I investigate what I define as pocket cartographies: intimate records of a personal geography that unfolds both in hand-held journals and large-scale canvases.
Through painting and the integration of new technologies—such as augmented reality and 3D modeling—I explore the tension between the small and the monumental.
My work functions as a visual refuge where error, memory, and migration converge. In each piece, I seek to answer a persistent question: how do we build a sense of belonging in a world of multiple realities and constantly shifting spaces?
ABOUT MY CHARACTERS
Creatures trapped in an infinite journey.
They don’t travel by their own will — they are carried.
They seem gentle, but they hide questions.
They are always affected by gravity and other physical forces
Their suits protect them and conceal them.
They appear in my works precisely when time stands still… like fleeting snapshots, there — and only for a moment — we can see them.

MY TECHNIQUES
I work with mixed techniques, both traditional and digital, combining visual arts with illustration, graphic composition, and technological resources such as 3D printing and augmented reality.
I create images where the manual and the technological intertwine, honoring the intuition of the line while exploring new visual possibilities.
Each piece is a synthesis of worlds: drawing, editing, color, and experimentation come together to express what cannot be said with words.
