Statement

“I get my inspiration from this crazy geography. Every place I visit leaves tracks in my memory which give shape and color to the trails of my journey. The landscapes go from the sea to the mountains, from north to south; I paint cities and towns which are diluted in the hills breaking up the peacefulness of the landscape. t times I feel like a shipwrecked person painting hundreds of light houses or I ask the sleeping cities to turn on their lights to illuminate my path”.
