Surrounded by objects, shapes, and forms of all sizes, colors and textures.. I absorb them and transform them into something else by only seeing their intrinsic beauty. Even in the darkest of alleys, there is always a glimmer that remains. This glimmer is what interests me.
"The succession of multiple layers of paint gradually gives body to the texture and let us perceive the delicacy of the work."

The window as a source of inspiration
The window is a rich subject in the history of art because it allows artists to question the visible. But also what it hides from the eyes of others. It allows a glimpse of a small part of the "landscape".
