If I had to pick a​ ​genre for my painting, although difficult​ due to the hybrid nature of my work,​ ​“magic realism” with a surrealist undertone would be it. Harsh images that​ ​capture our banal lives, a world full of data that consciously or​ ​subconsciously feeds into my work and helps involve it. All of these sources​ ​are filtered through a personal lens, which processes and alters all these visual​ ​stimuli before they are translated with painting brushes onto the canvas. In​ ​other words, the mind rules over the body. Despite this pluralistic approach​ ​there is an underlying theme that runs throughout my artistic practice. The​ ​female psyche and feminine energy that wants to​ ​communicate and reveal its true​ ​identity by breaking social constraints and stereotypes is a recurrent theme​ ​that sets the foundations for each and every painting of mine. In the end these are nothing more than lifetime experiences that give shape and form to each​ ​project that I am undertaking. The painting surface is the meeting point where​ ​reality clashes with fantasy and vice-versa.
