I am a self-taught painter, I strive to learn every day the technique of the old masters of the Renaissance.

Art is for me, it is the breath of life that makes me envelop every day in a heavenly spirit.

My great artistic challenge is to achieve with my paintings that people change for the good, that those people who are suffering, find in my art spiritual happiness.
