My work displays a strong preference for realistic images that range from film stills to artificial landscapes and sinking interiors. My inspiration comes from travels where I like to document through photographs a large variety of places: museums, architecture, landscape, everyday life. It is my way to get a grasp of the place and it is usually the starting place of a new project. An idea starts to take shape, like the artificial habitat series inspired by a biodome, or the painted ceilings, and I follow it, searching for more images and compositions I can work with. I prefer oil on canvas for the sheer pleasure of working with it in successive layers, it has the best tactility for a great variety of subjects.
