About this artwork

An intense portrait that explores the boundary between inner silence and imagination. The female figure, rendered in black and white, looks beyond the physical space, while a red hand - the only bright note in the neutral scale - holds the face in an absorbed gesture. A pink butterfly, symbol of lightness and transformation, lands in the hair, interrupting the staticity with a call to change. The work reflects a suspended moment, balanced between… immobility and the desire to escape.

The edges are painted to allow the painting to be hung without a frame, the surface is finished with a satin touch-up varnish, which makes it resistant to UV rays and the passage of time. The signature is present both on the front and on the back of the canvas and the painting is
accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Credentials

Established Artist
Works on commission

I am a figurative artist who loves to tell silent stories through faces, flowers, symbols and light shadows.
My painting is born from an internal dialogue: each work is a trace of what I have seen, experienced or simply felt inside.

I lived several years in Africa, in Kenya, and that period left a deep imprint on my artistic gaze: the colors of the earth, the liquid light of the sunset, the full smiles, the essential that becomes poetry.
All of this comes back in my paintings, often in the form of memory, femininity, metamorphosis and small symbolic presences — like butterflies, hibiscus, or thought spheres.

I love classic techniques such as oil on canvas and pastels, but I use them to express contemporary emotions: fragility, strength, identity, research.
I paint what is not said, what remains in closed eyes, or dissolves into a nuance.

And yes… often between one work and another I lose at least one brush, but I always find a part of myself again.
