"I Cut Out All the Labels" is a captivating mixed media artwork on white paper, adorned with layers of blue, green, and yellow acrylics, oil pastels and pencils. The piece delves into the reactivity experienced by those with heightened sensitivity. The title serves as a metaphor for the need to remove not only physical tags and labels of clothing that scratch the skin, but also societal expectations and stereotypes that can cause discomfort and distress. Through its overlapping marks, the artwork invites viewers to explore the profound journey of self-discovery and acceptance, embracing authenticity and breaking free from restrictive definitions.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
