About his work

His works approach space through simple geometric forms, which are characterized by a balance of geometric and organic layers.

In his paintings, he uses an intuitive use of mathematics and geometry, focusing on phenomena like expanding-unfolding symmetry, parallel mirrors, or fractured spaces.

“I investigate how we perceive reality; I am looking to find the balance between contradictions in order to understand how we construct what we consider real. The goal of my work is to know both sides of the coin and
find equilibrium in order to experience unification.”
