Editions OCTOBRE 2026

I am a Physical Artist and Animal Philanthropist going Phygital, living both in Switzerland and Ireland. Art is more than just a way for me to transform and process my intense connection to the world around me. It's my way of contributing to the well-being of nature, especially its creatures, the animals. My art is contemporary, ranging from figurative to abstract, and reflects on diverse topics such as neurodiversity, the role of women in society, the natural environment, and even the complexities of financial markets. The ideas for my artwork spring from inner images, born from my perceptions of the world whether through conversations, observing people and animals, or witnessing social phenomena. Because of this, I don't rely on sketches, photographs, or other external references in my creative process. I excel at imaginatively using materials, paint, and shapes. Currently, I favour acrylic on canvas or wood, often employing fresco techniques. I'm drawn to vibrant and saturated colours yellows, blues, reds, greens, oranges, and siennas which I often combine with whites and blacks. In some pieces, I incorporate metals like gold or coins, or other unexpected materials.
