Artist Statement

   I started my journey in the arts when i was 5 as a way to cope with my hearing and speaking difficulties; from there I developed a strong passion for painting and drawing. For me inspiration lies in the moments of connection, surrender and empathy; in nature driving forces and mysteries and in the power of individuality as well as beauty. In my surface I long to establish the thoughtfulness, stillness and the flow that I perceive from my surroundings making each brushstroke conscious, like words in a poem acting like a diary of the self. Through the exploration of dreams, feelings and symbolism like eyes, water and floating i long to achieve feelings of serenity, contemplation and relaxation that i experience from my time at pico island (azores).
