I work with watercolor as a field of research in which control and chance, structure and fluidity converge. I approach painting as a process where gesture, water, and pigment interact on equal terms, allowing the work to emerge from a balance between intention and accident.
My academic training in Advertising and Public Relations, along with a Master’s degree in Business Administration, and an extensive professional background in visual communication, have shaped a methodical and analytical approach to image-making, grounded in rigor, synthesis, and an acute awareness of visual language. This experience now informs my artistic practice not as narrative content, but as a working methodology.
Through my work, I seek to develop a distinctive visual language by means of sustained technical and expressive research in watercolor. I am particularly interested in the tension between the rational and the intuitive, between planning and unpredictability, understanding painting as an open and evolving territory.
I conceive each work as part of an ongoing process in which time, material, and imagination play a fundamental role. Painting is not, for me, a closed or definitive outcome, but a form of continuous exploration, approached with commitment, patience, and humility, guided by the aspiration that each new work surpasses the previous one.
