Read MoreMy search of artistic development started in my childhood, but the creative process became much more intense when I lived in France in the region “Pays de la Loire “. I call this beautiful region, the garden of France and it is about 2 hours drive from Paris. I lived there from 2004 till 2015 and had different instructors in watercolor technique. Since August 2015, I live in Belgium where I was born. In 2016 I started an additional artistic formation and I obtained the degree of Beeldend kunstenaar after my 5 years study in 2021. I paint portraits and human figures that explore the vast range of human emotions and behaviors. My work captures facial expressions or isolated body parts, as a way to explore the psychology of the human experience; although I am particularly drawn to the sensuality of the female body. I paint on paper with a squirrel brush, using India ink, watercolors, and acrylics. I never mix pigments, but apply the paint directly in numerous layers for greater plasticity and color vibrancy. I use strong lines that create contrast and tension for powerful and dramatic compositions, varying the palette and linework based on the mood
of the moment. Overall, I seek to move the viewer and create an emotional connection with my work.
