Making

For my illustrations, I generally use technical pens with ultra fine tip sizes, typically between 0.03 and 0.1mm. This allows me to focus on highly detailed patterns and simultaneously work on large designs.
Each piece is the result of a meticulous process which requires time and patience, yet I always leave room for improvisation, exploration and freedom.
I don't always decide consciously the subject of my illustrations. I prefer the ideas to flow naturally and the general concept to slowly grow on me before the pen touches the paper.
When the design is clear in my mind, I then translate it into ink and paint.

I mostly enjoy using acrylic paint along with black ink intricate doodles.
It's always seductive and challenging to make them coexisting on the same painting.

I like to convey duality through the idea of micro and macrocosm; two different, although interconnected aspects of the same concept.

I make this idea emerging in my work by encouraging the viewer to contemplate the subject up close in all his details and from afar in his full complexity.

Creating for me is a sort of erratic adventure that plays a cathartic and therapeutic role in my life.
I use it to give shape to the otherworldly abyss I couldn't express otherwise.

While I'm drawing I often drift away and descend into a dreamlike state of consciousness. A wordless place I love to linger and explore, inhabited by living mechanics and alien architectures.
