Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it

I would say the topic I explore is the conflict at the meeting point of opposing forces: good and evil. life and death, light and shade, wonderful and terrifying. My work can be seen as translation of universal concept such as the harmony of nature and the struggle between good and evil into allegories. the figures are often metamorphic, they mimic the fascination with hybrid and tragicomic in the reconstruction of a personal mythology inspired from popular culture and nature. A critical mass which finds its own imagery, fears and fantasy, just like an ancestral culture regulated by nature’s rhythm and determined by its laws.

Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?

I’d really like to DJ. I think it should be great to see all of the people in front of you to dance and have fun because of your music. It should be gratifying and a lot of fun.
I’d like also experiment doing my own music.

Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?

To be able to give something to think about to people and hopefully inspiration to something positive.
