From a young age I have always practiced a sport. Dance, circus, kung fu, these practices all filled my head with images of moving bodies. Since 2019, I have been setting down these images on paper, making paintings in India ink, sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract, always minimalist.
In this section I present the figurative part of the family. I do take some liberties with the anatomy, a few vertebrae are added here and there, the organs might disappear from time to time, but the body is recognizable, central.
