About me
I am a figurative artist constantly evolving and experimenting.
Along with depicting figure’s humanity, I like to add textured backgrounds that allow creating space for profound gestures and gazes.
commissions
You have a picture, a unique memory, that you’d like to turn into a painting?
Want to give a special gift? Do you have a photo you’d like turned into a portrait, but don’t like the background? No problem — I can take care of it! I create portraits in oil, acrylic, or mixed media, based on your preferences. I can adjust colors, change the setting, or add new elements to make it truly personal.
