We can stay here a lot of time talking about that old sketchbook started after a week in NYC, or those few lines that made me realize what I was missing, right before going surfing in Hikkaduwa last January. But no, let’s make it quick.

Starting from my roots as a lowbrow illustrator — deeply influenced by skateboard art and the psychedelic poster art of the ’60s and ’70s — this past year I found the guts to start exploring a new direction in my work.

Created mainly through acrylics on canvas, this serie shifts toward a more minimal visual language: flat color fields, the near-total absence of outlines, simplified shapes, and a more symbolic tone.

Why?

I realized that certain concepts — more internal, abstract, or emotionally complex — couldn’t be fully expressed through the cartoonish, lowbrow style that defines much of my commercial work.

This emerged as a response to that need: an attempt to speak in a quieter, more evocative visual voice.

Social media distortions, human relationships & mediterranean plants

So far, this research has taken two distinct paths: The first series explores how we experience and express emotions through social networks — how digital communication distorts, amplifies, or reshapes our emotional lives.

The second series it’s a celebration, an ode, inspired by aromatic Mediterranean plants — such as broom, mastic, oleander — observed and reimagined as personal, symbolic presences rooted in the landscape around me.
