STATEMENT

My art is a fundamental part of my journey. The creation starts in my morning ocean swim, after meditation, or even during my tarot readings. The way I found to befriend my shadows is to get curious,
be mindful of my body and feelings, set my intentions and face the collage as a sacred ritual. I practice what in Buddhism is called “Dharma Art”. Every element you see in my work has an intention which came from deep contemplation.

My work uses a mix of digital an analogue collage, markers, scratching tools and gold leaf.

Through the colourful and boundless universe of collage, I found the perfect contemplative and healing practice: something bright and fun to share and also to help me develop personal and spiritual awareness.
