I’m a painting vagabond. Driven by the desire to explore and grow I’m travelling around sustaining myself by selling plein air paintings and drawing ink portraits on the street.

Working exclusively from life, painting for me is a very intimate and direct way of connecting to the people and the nature that I encounter. It forces me to be in the moment, slow down, taking a close and precise look at what surrounds me and allows me to share and express my sensual appreciation of the visual world. The result are paintings that serve as a visual travel journal but are also depictions of the atmosphere and the mood of the places that I encounter.

As the visual world, made up by light is an essential part of the universal human experience, I see realistic painting as a universal language that can be understood, or rather felt, by anyone regardless of cultural background, concepts, education or status.

Right now my focus lies in deepening my understanding of this language, studying to extend my technical abilities. With every purchase, you support me on my journey to grow as an artist.
