about me
values that inspire my work
Presence
I paint from a place of reflection and intention, allowing the moment to guide me.
My work invites you to slow down, to notice, and to be fully present with what you feel.
Beauty
I believe beauty holds a quiet power. It uplifts, soothes, and brings light into our everyday lives.
My paintings are created to offer moments of stillness and joy—unique works that make a space feel more whole.
Connection
Art connects us to ourselves, to others, and to what matters.
Each painting carries more than what meets the eye. There is always another layer - a thread of meaning that connects the work to something beyond itself.
Art that invites a sense of serenity and reflection
In my studio I create paintings that combine delicate beauty with quiet emotion, using colour, pattern and texture to tell stories inspired by both place and feeling.
My work is shaped by many years spent in Portugal, a country where life moves at a slower pace - a place filled with dreams, memories, and beautiful light.
Whenever I feel the need to re-energise, an empty beach is never far away and new ideas and inspirations come to my mind.

“The position of the artist is humble.
He is essentially a channel.”
