Fascinated by color theories and contrasts, I create paintings with intense color palettes inspired by the subject matter that challenges the idea of colors and how we normally see them. While studying Art History, I discovered an interest in Expressionism, Pop Art and Street Art which has highly influenced my work and approach to art making. I have found inspiration in iconic images from pop culture and relating it to our present society and current situations. My latest series portray the new struggles and difficulties we are facing in a world changed by Corona. Going through these difficult and uncertain times, I find it important to draw from the lighter things in life to deal with this absurdity which is why my approach to the representation of these times has been from a humorous perspective.
