IGGY
Iggy Pop is more than a musician; he’s a symbol of raw energy, rebellion, and resilience. Known as the “Godfather of Punk,” his face alone tells a story of a life lived with intensity—gritty, weathered, and defiant. But there’s also a calmness in his gaze, an almost Zen-like acceptance, that fascinated me. I wanted to convey both his defiant edge and that hard-won tranquility, creating a portrait that blends vibrancy with texture, intimacy with impact.

ABOUT ME
As with everything else, my art has also evolved quite a bit during the years. Although I still cherish the realistic drawings, I went from a classic approach to a more colorful and contemporary style. Curious by nature, I nourish my creativity by exploring various paths, often trying to convey broader and more meaningful questions about themes that resonates with me at a certain time. Whenever possible, I try to do it with a bit of humor or satire. I go with my flow without being attached in following “the” flow. To me, art is not frozen in time or in trends. I cherish this freedom and spontaneity that allows me to be entertained and for you to be surprised.
