Art is the vocation of freedom

This site offers a partial digital imprint of a long and evolving artistic journey.
It is not a retrospective, nor a diary, nor a representative showcase – but rather a space where different temporalities and media converge.

Art, for me, is an existential necessity: a continuous pursuit of form and meaning within a fragmented world that oscillates between the ironic and the sacred. The aesthetics of materiality, the poetics of technical error, and the organic coexistence of classical traditions with digital layers all inform the visual language through which I explore the relationship between reality and the unconscious.

The works presented here are arranged in cycles, yet they remain in constant dialogue with one another. My intention is to create a context in which each piece may assert its own weight and atmosphere – to be encountered as a singular presence within a living constellation.
This platform will be regularly updated with new projects, reflections, videos, and fragments – all part of an active, interdisciplinary artistic practice. Not only the visual outcome, but also the processes of reflection, genesis, context, and interpretation are granted space here.
For me, art is the vocation of freedom. This site serves as a digital extension of that presence.

This site is a dynamic encounter: at the boundary between artistic traditions and contemporary art, in the ebb and flow of symbols and atmospheres. The leaping tiger – a symbol of movement, force, and resilience – embodies the essence of my work: a relentless search, a continuous passage between forms and media.
