This piece was born from a moment of silence.
Not an empty silence, but one filled with presence — the moment in which the soul withdraws to listen to what comes from within.
It was in this intimate space that the colours began to reveal themselves, as if each layer were a response to an unspoken question.

Blue appeared first — dense, deep, like a dive into faith.
The gesture was guided by an inner listening, by an impulse that cannot be explained, only felt.

“Inner Dialogue” is about this encounter: the silent dialogue between the human and the divine, between what can be understood and what can only be believed.
It speaks of the love that sustains, the faith that soothes, the dreams that insist on being born, and the peace that arrives when the heart finally surrenders.

More than an image, it is a state of mind — an invitation to pause, breathe, and allow the soul to find its own dialogue.

Intuitive abstract piece, created on raw cotton fabric measuring 1.51 x 1.65. Mixed media technique. Unique, original artwork.

“Sad Boy” portrays a moment of quiet vulnerability — a child sitting alone, suspended between sorrow and longing. His small frame, curved inward, reflects a tenderness that life has already tested, yet not extinguished.

His tear is the most delicate element of the painting: it carries pain, but also truth. It reveals a heart that feels deeply — and only hearts capable of deep sadness are also capable of deep love.

Around him, the muted tones and textured background create a space that feels both worn and unfinished, as if the world around him is still in the process of becoming. This unfinished quality is where dreams quietly reside — in the places where life has not yet fully formed.

Despite the sadness, there is an undeniable presence of faith in the painting. It appears in the way the boy sits upright, even if fragile. In the way he remains present, not erased, not fading — but still here. Faith is often this small: the simple act of staying.

And from faith comes hope — the soft, nearly invisible light within the composition. It does not shout; it hums beneath the surface. Hope lives in the idea that this moment, as heavy as it is, is not the end of his story. It is a chapter, a breath held before something shifts.

“Sad Boy” reminds us that even in deep silence, the human spirit carries four things that cannot be taken away:
the dreams that keep us imagining, the love that keeps us feeling, the faith that keeps us standing, and the hope that keeps us moving toward the light.

Description: “Under the Tuscan Sun” bursts into life with a symphony of color — a vibrant, dancing landscape where warmth, light, and movement blend into a single breath.

This abstract field feels alive, as if the sun itself spilled across the canvas, igniting every stroke with vitality. Hints of red, yellow, lavender, and pink intertwine like wildflowers swaying in a Tuscan breeze. The thick, expressive textures evoke the sensation of standing before a meadow in full bloom — unrestrained, sun-kissed, and overflowing with joy.

Above it, the sky shifts in soft blues touched with gold, echoing the late-afternoon light that Tuscany is known for: dreamy, luminous, full of promise.

This piece captures a moment of pure emotional sunshine — the warmth that settles on the skin, the beauty that overwhelms the senses, and the feeling of freedom that only wide open landscapes can bring. It invites the viewer to linger, to breathe, and to feel the soul-deep calm of a summer afternoon beneath the Tuscan sun.

Description:
“The Best Friend” is a tender and comforting work of art that captures the beauty of unconditional love. Painted in soft, warm tones, the piece portrays a serene embrace filled with peace and emotional depth.

Description: This painting captures the quiet majesty of a horse in motion — powerful, poised, and deeply connected to the land beneath its hooves. Its glossy coat reflects the warmth of the sun, while the surrounding green fields and distant hills create a serene, timeless landscape.

The animal’s stance conveys both strength and grace, as if caught in a moment of natural freedom. There is dignity in its posture, calm in its gaze, and a sense of harmony between creature and nature.

It is a celebration of beauty, vitality, and the peaceful rhythm of the countryside — a reminder of how nature moves with both power and gentleness.

Description: This painting portrays a majestic deer emerging from a misty forest. Its calm, steady gaze and impressive antlers give the scene a sense of quiet strength.

It feels like a moment of stillness in nature — peaceful, noble, and timeless.

Description: The lion is a representation of God’s power, while the lamb is Jesus as the perfect and unblemished offering.

The flock is unbothered and at peace, for they know and have faith in the ones protecting and guarding them from the dangers they do not see.

Description: A portrait of a woman, representing the many portraits artists have made throughout history and the standards that have been put in one’s appearance. A woman who loves herself surrounded by the wishes of others.

Description: This piece was born from the idea that hope can still rise, even in the midst of chaos.
Hope that lifts itself like a kite—light, fragile, yet determined—echoing the innocence of childhood.

By evoking the image of a child flying a kite, the artwork invites us to remember how we once looked at life’s storms: with curiosity, wonder, and a heart untouched by fear.
It’s a reminder that even during turmoil, there is a way to face the wind—with the same playful courage that guides a kite into the sky.

Description: Both pieces come from a body of work connected to the theme “Talk More About Love,” which includes many artworks featuring this fragmented heart motif. As the name suggests, it’s an invitation to speak more about love.

The reference used in the second piece is something I had already explored early in my career, which is why it’s titled “Dos Veces.” It is a study created using high-contrast lighting as part of a research project that combines expressive female gazes with urban
elements and a multicultural aesthetic.

The work points to this discreet and silent mystery: there is a force that acts in the hidden, that transforms without fanfare, and that makes beauty sprout where before there was the improbable. Here, every detail seems to remind us that blossoming is never accidental — it is always a response from the divine.

This painting captures the vibrant harmony of two macaws resting among lush tropical branches.

Their bright colors and calm posture bring a sense of life, freedom, and connection to nature.

The surrounding greenery enhances the feeling of a peaceful forest, where beauty exists in every shade and every feather.

It’s a joyful and expressive piece that celebrates color, companionship, and the spirit of the wild.

Description of the work: This abstract artistic representation captures the spirit of the Bird of Paradise flower, native to South Africa. Against a deep, midnight black backdrop, the canvas comes alive with a dance of colors that evoke the flower's unique form. On the left, a streak of cerulean blue gently flows down, reminiscent of the cool tones found in the flower’s pointed petals. This merges into a swath of fiery orange, akin to the vibrant, crane-like crests of the Bird of Paradise. The colors curve and rise, transitioning into a column of blended reds, greens, and blues, mirroring the flower's distinctive, fan-like bracts. The bold color palette and dynamic movement on the canvas celebrate the exotic and striking beauty of the Bird of Paradise, inviting viewers to appreciate its association with freedom, magnificence, and the splendor of the natural world.

It is a work about protection, healing, and the beauty that grows when a life is rooted in love.
