Symbols, narratives and ideas viewed from different perspectives are the creative preferences of my artistic pursuits. I attach great importance to the psychology of depiction.

As to the form, I prefer to oscillate between minimalism with narrative elements and figurative depiction or create a conscious link in which one element is varied according to the subject (cords, hands, paper figures).

In realistic renderings of the figure I am primarily concerned with volume and a sort of materialisation of the object. My intention is to reach beyond the format to convey a sense of escaping into the miniature world through a window or conversely escaping from it. This is associated with the fact that bookplates or illustrations are executed in rather small formats.
