Some figures transcend their time so completely that they become impossible to see clearly while they are alive. Michael Jackson was one of them.
He was observed, analyzed, idolized, judged, defended, condemned. He became a symbol onto which the world projected its obsessions and fears. Yet behind the icon lived a profoundly sensitive artist. A fragile being of rare emotional depth. Someone who seemed to exist slightly out of sync with the world around him.

ABOUT ME
Like everything else, my art has evolved over the years.
While I still value the precision of realistic drawing, my work has shifted from a classical approach to a more colorful and contemporary language. Curious by nature, I feed my creativity by exploring different paths, often reflecting on broader themes that resonate with me at a given moment.
Whenever possible, I like to bring a touch of humor or gentle satire into my work. I follow my own rhythm rather than “the” rhythm. For me, art isn’t frozen in time or trapped by trends. I cherish the freedom and spontaneity that keep me engaged and hopefully, keep you surprised.
