Oil and paper on linen. This painting was inspired during the the time I lived in Japan in 2012, I was very impressed by the works of Hokusai. Back in Europe I worked on the idea of this ocean and huge vital force we have inside us, behind our flesh, Hokusai work ended up representing this energy. The intense sight is asking , what do you do with the time that was given to you?

I have been a neuroscientist for about 20 years so far. I started with a darkroom build in the toilet of my apartment when I was living in Japan in 2011. Then in Vienna, I took private classes of painting, drawing and sculpture. Since then I have been experimenting with diverse materials and styles pushing myself to see where can I get, how deep I can reach inside. I think art is destroying our habits, expose us to ourselves. Thus art is liberating, it give us the opportunity to change, and alchemically transform the very roots of reality, by changing the way we see.
