I was born in Belgium and I'm an artist based out of Italy. I create paintings and illustrations with a dreamlike and surreal style, inspired by symbolism, alchemy, the occult and mythology.
In my paintings and drawings there is a constant search for historical symbolism, and I use the same conceptual approach with which I started as a writer before dedicating myself to figurative art. Art is my way of elaborating the emotions in order to grow, to face reality without forgetting to dream.
