ABOUT THE ARTIST

Through my artwork, I try to break the taboos of our society when it comes to things associated with women. Sometimes certain elements and ideas come from my unconscious mind and other times I try to express what goes through my mind on a conscious level, my art takes various transformations and at certain moments I somehow end up projecting it on the canvas. , the experiences I go through on a personal level and that is why my paintings are intricate and intimate and refer to women and beauty. Art knows no borders and therefore has no prejudices and, through this medium, I try to reach the public subliminally. It's me trying to show the world all the Venusian qualities that women possess and trying to give people enough reasons to love and respect the reason that allowed them to see the light of day and experience the joy of life instead of exploiting them. Freedom and arbitrariness are not the same. I love choosing freedom.
