ARTIST STATEMENT:
"I am persuaded that the most important for my art has been travelling. I have experienced a life in Paris, Sicily, London, Prague and currently living on the suburbs of New York City. Along the way I've met a lot of interesting people, artists, musicians, travellers, class mates from all over the world, and also learned how is important to be open to make new friends at every opportunity life presents.
Regarding my work, I seek to reveal the purety and intimacy of human existence when everything else can at times feel brutal and overwhelming. I always tendto make art about things I know about and I understand them.
As a subject matter, I am not interested in niceties, but in people on the edge of society, the fringes, outcasts. I love to observe the life on the streets in the capitals and I have both good and bad memories associated with life in Paris or in London."
