ABOUT THE ARTIST

I have been working on a mysterious and dark style throughout the past years. My works are mainly mysterious portraits or images of abandoned spaces and landscapes with or without wandering people, where there is a lot to discover and feel. I usually take a picture of a moment in my daily life where I really feel I must depict it. It is a moment in my immediate environment that I experience and want to capture. I then draw this image realistically, with a surrealistic touch. I also base myself on my lucid dreams.

Another important aspect for me is the contrasting interaction between light and darkness. A dark image with rays of light can be mesmerizing, and I always try to focus on this by using the white of the paper itself.

My work tends to show the loneliness and desolation that occurs in many lives, in this contrastingly chaotic world. I want to create a moment for the viewer that makes them stand still for a while and forget the daily grind.

I mainly use charcoal because it is, for now, the only medium where I have the feeling that it comes from within. I can apply different layers and use dozens of other objects besides the charcoal itself to edit it, such as my hands, cloths, objects with structure, feathers, box cutters and sponges.

My works vary from small A4s to large works.
