Artwork in the room
I would describe myself as someone who lives with watercolour, immersed within it. I am captivated by its delicacy, its unpredictability, and the special way it responds to water. My inspiration often comes from nature, so flawlessly crafted by God. At the same time, the vibrant energy of city life also draws me in—the noise, the activity, the shifting shadows on buildings in the sunlight, or the reflections shimmering on wet streets after rain. Colour holds particular significance for me; the palette I select shapes the evolution, spirit, and mood of each piece. Through my art, I invite you to imagine, to escape to a place of tranquility and goodness… Enigmatic, yet safe… Wishing you a pleasant journey!

About this artwork+
The painting depicts a still life arrangement featuring a variety of objects on a flat surface. In the composition, there is a tall, slender bottle with a cork stopper, its body mainly rendered in whites and grays with touches of blue near the top. Adjacent to the bottle, shadows and light play across the surface, giving a soft yet textured background in hues of brown and black. To the right, an intricate black and white floral pattern, possibly a plant or a printed fabric, adds depth and contrast. In front of these, two round, white containers with blue rims hold what appear to be fruits—perhaps tangerines, suggested by their warm, yellow-orange tones. These fruits, along with others that are uncontained, sit directly on the tabletop. The entire scene is depicted with broad, expressive brushstrokes and a somewhat muted palette, evoking a sense of serene quietness. The handling of light and shadow creates an atmospheric effect, making the objects appear both distinct and integrated into their surroundings.
