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.
