Emotional Realms

This collection delves into the intangible — rendering complex emotions and abstract ideas into vivid, standalone artworks. Each piece stands as a self-sufficient world, capturing fleeting internal states and elusive psychological truths.

Employing elements of surrealism and naïve art, these paintings translate the ineffable into striking visual metaphors.

The result is an invitation to introspection, where viewers are encouraged to confront their own emotional depths through layered symbolism and poetic abstraction.

Tales & Whispers

In this collection, each painting is a chapter in a larger narrative, weaving together interconnected tales of human behavior and society.

Echoing the allegorical style of Jean de La Fontaine — who used animals to illuminate human flaws — these works, particularly the hallmark Temptation collection, explore deeper truths about our nature through surrealist imagery.

Each piece builds upon the last, creating a visual journey that invites viewers to uncover layers of meaning and connection.

Singular Moments

This collection embraces both standalone pieces and thematic explorations that exist in their own distinct realms.

From solitary characters frozen in time to series inspired by mythology and natural elements, each work here maintains its independence while contributing to a rich tapestry of individual narratives.

Watercolor paintings

Through delicate watercolor strokes, these animal characters echo Pippin's familiar silhouette while dancing to their own unique rhythm.

Each piece invites you into a world where these distinctive figures, shaped with the same roundness but carrying their own personality, become storytellers of unspoken emotions.

The translucent nature of watercolors brings an ethereal quality to each piece, allowing colors to blend and flow organically, creating depth and luminosity that perfectly captures the playful yet profound nature of these characters.
