Your story, as a painting

I especially love creating made-to-measure artworks for couples: I turn your personal love story into an allegory, cast in an expressive symphony of colour. Portraits, family pictures and works for special rooms are also made on request.

A lawyer’s mind, a painter’s heart

“For me, art is more than a picture – it is a dialogue between feeling, colour and life itself.”

My work unites the analytical precision of a lawyer with the sensitivity and creative intuition of an artist. Luminous, powerful colours dance with delicate floral elements and merge with expressive portraits into a visual language of their own.

I have been painting since the age of twelve – abstract and figurative, in oil and acrylic on canvas, wood, glass, stone and textiles. I find inspiration in nature, motherly love, emotions, people and the meeting of tradition and the modern.
