1987-1988: Works in a ceramics studio.
1989-2009: Teaching Visual Art.
After ten years of teaching arts in high school, I had to stop to devote myself completely to painting.
My artistic approach takes the form of a quest intuitive to me every day, the deepening of mystical aspiration since my childhood.
I have always worked on the topics that fascinated me. The poetic quality of life is given by emotions, by what we live in emotion, enjoyment, the initiation of a feeling, an emotion that I have within me and I need to express, otherwise than by words, it is a form of language. It is going from inside to outside. My eye picks up and running my hand.
Faced with my paintings I experiment with new techniques, draws deep within myself. My imaginary world always brings me back to warm my sometimes violent life. Read Less

The description of my painting:
Sculpting on canvas" needs to be clarified. I prepare canvas with mortar. After the mortar has dried out, I carve in my images with steel brushes, scrapers and metal pencils. This is how I create a relief painting. When I add different colours to the mortar, this artwork can be completed. But most of the times this relief is the foundation for a painting. The painting starts when the relief is completely dried out. This can take up to a week. I apply more than one layer, but this is not always necessary. This depends on the specific kind of mortar I use. For painting I use oil paint and enamel paint, but also acrylic paint on occasion. My daily activities consist of painting on canvas and paper. I do this not to create paintings, but purely to train and improve my skills for my 'Sculpted Canvas' Art.. Read Less
