Statement
In digital numbers I write my artwork, deeply affected by religious, emotional, hurtful and even medical themes I am. Creating with as basis photos and digital painting, I recreate a concept, an idea or a thought that I have in my mind, making it bizarre, unreal but real an imaginary character. Trying to heal the wounds I have gotten, trying to submerge within an underground culture I drown into, with illusions, fantasies and allegories to an unrealistic reality. Autobiographical insanities I try to express, as equally the love for cold winters, Japanese mythology, the texture of silk fabrics and romantic fatalistic stories which I adore the most.
