This work captures a Moroccan sunrise through a restrained yet richly textured surface. The surface is built through a tension of processes: the fleeting, atmospheric quality of spray paint reminds us of the immediacy of changing light, while slow, repetitive hand stitching carves vertical lines into the work. The contrast between the soft diffusion of colour and the rigid, almost meditative texture invites a closer viewing. The work holds a quiet balance between transience and permanence—capturing a moment that is constantly shifting, yet anchored through the labour of making.

"Colori di Positano" is a vibrant oil painting that captures the essence of the iconic Italian coastal town. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s beauty, this piece showcases a charming corner shop, a red Vespa, and a breathtaking view of the jagged cliffs and azure waters. The bold use of saturated greens and yellows contrasts with the deep blue-purple shadows, evoking the interplay of light and architecture. A subtle glimpse of red beach umbrellas and the shoreline completes the idyllic scene, bringing to life the enchanting spirit of Positano.

26 days and nights of Africa. In contrast of my pre-departure imagination, they were days of calm rhythm of life. Nothing is dramatic. The world is simply living on, hunting is part of necessity, no greed, no judgement. Under the same divine illuminating light, we are all equal and integrated into one. Back from Africa, back to my normal city life, the moments when I am drowning in the sea of anticipations in my brain, I lie on the ground and search for the divine light above and within. Yes I have those moments, of course I do. I don't work on every piece of painting with great clarity. I work on them as me. The person often chaotic, sensitive, imperfect .. and that is ok. That is part of me, the part allowed, accepted and respected, by me, as part of my work represents. Learning to live within my own rhythm is going to be a very long journey and I allow myself to fail at times so long as I don’t give up. In the end, art to me is a way of expression, I remain honest, with professionalism.
