Artist Statement:
Music is the main source of inspiration; particularly the guitar. It’s an instrument that has always caught my attention. In its various forms and strong personality I found the perfect model.
In all my work you can see vivid colors and contrasts, and I always like to make sure to maintain visual harmony.
The guitars and characters in each of my pieces reflect emotions in different situations. In my work I have found a way to bring together my two passions, painting and love for music.
