Storm epicenter- Saturn hexagonal North Pole, Work on Paper
The Cosmos is my main reason and motivation in this life. I have a degree in natural sciences and it was back then when I saw the purest and most astonishing art and beauty in the Universe and the laws that govern it. When I started my path in art, right after my graduation, I kept studying astrophysics, physics and astronomy, until they became the core of my life and work. In my vision, science and art are absolutely inseparable. The Universe instills a sense of fulfillment, peace, introspection, mystery and infinity that nothing else can equate to. In particular these drawings are an emotional representation of these feelings, using unusual techniques that often include using my fingers and the power of direct touch, to make things alive and pulsating, going back to the main form of my expression which is sculpture.
