CIFAC selection and others

I create oil paintings with symbolic images that are both figurative and somewhat advertising, such as graphics and geometry.

“My existence is shaped by others”

By depicting objects and landscapes that have been cut out unnaturally and changed in shape, they express the ambiguity and incongruity of one's own existence and identity itself.
