My university studies (of I.S.AV.; of medieval art; and of Conservation, Restoration and Management of contemporary art; of Chinese and Japanese; of biology) opened up to me multiple horizons and sources of inexhaustible inspiration (from calligraphy to Asian painters, from bestiary to popular beliefs of the Middle Ages - notably thanks to my thesis on the corbels/modillons of Romanesque churches, from human sciences to marine biology and of course art past and present, East and West German).
My paintings often stem from a reflection from which the subject will arise, like jellyfish painted on x-rays (first exhibited in 2008 and protected by copyright).
