"After college I started to travel to many foreign countries.
The images I saw made deep impressions in mine experience.

I soon realized that I wanted to express these experiences,
through drawing and painting.
I visited museums, markets and other places where people gathered
so that I could draw.

I also attended a private Art Academy in Amsterdam.
I began to exhibit after finishing the Academy

Searching and creating innovations in visual art today is quite a challenge,
since so much has already been done.
Can figurative art be innovative and enrich? I believe it can.
I'm passionate about discovering new ways of blending life with art
