His works seem to have a strong narrative component, inspired by the fairy-tale world of childhood dreams, but contaminated by a more adult vision of society, which is reflected in his fears, ideals, beliefs and convictions. There is an inherent tension between the innocence of childhood and a more complex and nuanced adult reality. Despite this contamination, the artist manages to deeply preserve an idea of ​​reality that appears enchanted and magical, a world that resembles ours but which seeks to reinvent itself through stories of hidden beauty and fantastic places. This artistic universe, despite being rooted in infantile emotions, manages to stimulate a profound and fascinating reflection on reality. The result is a painting that manifests itself as a pictorial illustration, exhibited with the force of contemporary magic, capable of fascinating and provoking the public. The fantastic and visionary dimension of his works, mixed with a criticism of society, invites those who observe to reflect, to dream and to let themselves be transported into a world that nourishes authentic emotions and a profound search for beauty.
