I draw my inspiration from the feelings of my emotions and dreams.
Many elements such as water are omnipresent in my work; I also like to allude to the other elements of our life, the air, the earth, which are carriers of dreamism.
I work with pigments and varnishes, decorate with gold leaf, powder and copper.
For encrustations, tin, mother-of-pearl and egg shell.
