de picturis meis
Drawing has always been a part of my life, a source of leisure, passion, and personal expression. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to attend various courses and intensive workshops at different art schools, allowing me to refine my skills and explore new techniques. I’m particularly drawn to portrait painting, as nothing inspires me more than the human gaze : every face tells a unique story, and I love capturing that essence through the richness of color and the depth that oil painting makes possible.
