Abstract Aesthetics
2023
This body of work is a departure from my previous pieces, as it explores the uncharted territories of abstract expressionism. The intention behind this series is to delve into the void, to embrace the unknown and to bring back new insights and forms.

Monuments of Nothingness
2021
"Monuments of Nothingness" is a thought-provoking series of drawings that explores the idea that the truth can often be found in what is overlooked or disregarded. This series takes the audience on a journey through my personal experiences and the experiences of others in New York City around the time of the fall of the Twin Towers.
In a café in Soho one
afternoon, she felt pleasure. Wearing a red sweater, she suggested they move
in together. But his refusal
turned her pleasure into pain. As he explained the reason, she discreetly and
awkwardly started tearing her woolen sweater. Suddenly, she was gone, leaving behind only a
small mound of red threads on the floor, shimmering in the darkness.
As
I made my way down from Harlem to Times Square to meet my friend, my excitement
grew at the idea of a night of entertainment in Lower Manhattan. As I walked up
the carpeted wooden stairs to his third floor apartment, I noticed a large
amount of blood on the steps. Despite the disturbing sight, I arrived at his door,
where he greeted me warmly and offered me a drink. When I asked him
about the blood, he nonchalantly informed me about a murder that had taken
place there a few hours before and we quickly changed the subject. As I waited for
him to get ready, I couldn't help but notice the crisp yellow suit hanging from
a pipe in the ceiling. At the same time, my friend struggled to put in his
blue contact lenses, believing that they would make him irresistible to women. After half an
hour of effort he succeeded, but his eyes had turned deep red from the strain. He turned to me and
asked, "How do I look?" With a subtle smile, I replied, "Like the Vampire of Times
Square ."

Narratives
2019
"Narratives" is a series of paintings that delves into the power of storytelling and the impact it has on our perception of reality. Through realistic depictions of various subjects, the series showcases how narratives shape our understanding of the world around us, even when they may not exist in reality.
Possible Worlds
2015
The series "Possible Worlds" presents an exploration of the human condition set against the backdrop of nature. Through the use of realistic paintings I present a vision of alternate realities, where humanity is stripped of its societal trappings and exposed in its rawest form.
