I create portraits that merge photography and painting,
built through layers of images, colour and matter.

Everything in life is composite and multifaceted.
Every person, every moment, every deep emotion.

This vision is the foundation of my work:
each portrait is a construction made of layers,
where images, techniques and materials overlap and merge
to reveal the identity and complexity of the subject.

Photography and painting enter into dialogue
to give form to what is not immediately visible.

My portraits begin here.

ABOUT ME

PRIVAT

PRIVATE

PORTRAIT

A private portrait—whether of an individual or a family—is an intimate possession: something anyone may admire, yet only its protagonists can truly understand and appreciate.

I believe that a meaningful portrait requires a high degree of what I call emotional customization. If I am able to understand my subjects—if I can catch a glimpse of their personalities, their feelings, their dreams—then I have what I need to create a work that is both unique and deeply personal.

In essence, the foundation of my work is communication: a shared journey, however brief, of introspection and expression.

OFFICIAL

PORTRAIT

The tradition of official portraiture is vast, rich and impossible to ignore.

So when I approach an official portrait, I try to assimilate the lesson of the master portraitists from the past and adapt it to my own aesthetics, aspiring to create something that fits within this storied tradition and yet is unmistakably different.
