This work is born from my need to explore the human face as an emotional territory. Each gaze holds a story, a latent emotion, a moment of awareness. 
I paint faces that do not seek to resemble anyone in particular, yet they ultimately reflect all of us.
Color is my primary language: I use it to give life to the invisible, to express what cannot always be said with words. Textures, lines, and forms emerge intuitively, guided by the emotion of the moment. 
I do not seek perfection, but the truth of the gesture.
When a piece like this enters a home, it does not simply occupy a physical space; it engages in dialogue with those who live with it, accompanies them, observes them, and invites them to look inward. 
It is a living work, one that changes with light, mood, and the gaze of the viewer.
For me, art exists to create connection, presence, and memory. This work is part of that journey.
