Japanese myths, secrets and legends.

“I grew up with them. When I try to immerge myself in the space-time of these enchanting stories, I find a whole world of inspiration.

Kojiki” awakened the dreams of the earth in me; I answer to the call of Izanagi and Izanami, breaking waves of symbolism to reveal how united and welcoming nature is, if you learn how to trust her.

My intent is to experiments the fascinating layers of seasons. Frosted canvases, borned during a skittish rain or a scorching sun realizethe desire to work as a co-author with the Elements.
Perhaps I’m a Zen Rebel, or maybe a Yokai lives in my brush.

There’s a Minku in my deep dreams, it’s made by my canvases and everymorning I comb the sand thrown by the wind during the night...”

Off-road texture

There’s a layer of real nature on every single painting.
It can be said that my canvases are cultivated by earth itself.

“With an active gesture I try to induce a certain synergy between soil, canvas and pure colors”
