I use painting as a medium to translate impressions, emotions and memories into a visual format. The techniques involved are based on the superimposition of several layers of gesso, paint and collages.

The initial background is handmade paper painted with gesso.
Then, several layers of collaged fragments are added, producing a three-dimensional effect -  incorporating textured handmade paper, wall paper, printed elements, calligraphy, etc... - to create a distinctive, antiquarian appearance. 

The original image has thus been reformulated along with the collage elements and is integrated into a singular work of art, combining several techniques and media such as graphite, watercolor and printmaking. 

The final effect is that of a delicately burnished and finely weathered patina. Drawn upon the past, the artwork becomes a magical interplay between the formal and the symbolic, antiquity and present, time and place, while creating a personal genre of modern fresco.
