My work seeks to explore ideas rooted in realistic world. I am interested by the notion of taking something physical and amalgamate with not corporeal such as dreams, thoughts, emotions and memory. My marks are heavily influenced by human forms as well as graffiti & textural presence. My work speaks of the moment of spontaneity and wants to express gestural moments unconstrained.
