My paintings are journeys into the underworld of the psyche human – the collective unconscious – into which I dive to bring back icons and symbols. My art is expressionism, mystical, and contemporary. It combines and juxtaposes modernity and ancient times I began each of these paintings by drawing subjects who always ended up disappearing in favor of other characters. One after the other, they landed without warning, as if by chance, because I wasn't expecting them. I feel like no matter what I would have planned, they would still have appeared. I feel immense curiosity when looking at them, because right there, on their side of the canvas, I feel that they are wondering as much as I am. "Who is it?" This is why I have the feeling that they literally “Fallen from the sky”.
