Although I used to enjoy drawing and took creative subjects up to and including high school, an art education was not a logical choice for me. I started painting in 2002, I am self-taught, my background is in the graphic arts field.

My work is mainly abstract. In addition, every now and then I make a trip to figurative and 3D.

My latest work is characterized by the use of an old technique, encaustic. I make my own paint with beeswax and damar resin, supplemented with pure colour pigments.
