About The Artist

Once upon a time there was a young girl who loved to dream and draw. She loved nature so much that she cried when the old apple tree was shaved in the garden. She wanted to draw everything leaf by leaf, tree by tree, grass by grass. This girl ..., it was me. I drew at my own pleasure but at my 18 years everything changed because the art of drawing and painting became a job, a vocation for me. My interest has widened but nature has always been a starting point for me. I started my career as an illustrator: my mother is a writer and she chose me to illustrate her storybook. In my family, having artistic talent is not abnormal. The hero of our first tale was a great success. At the same time as my illustrator activities I was preparing to become a painter because oil painting has always impressed me. It’s an excellent material that opens up endless possibilities for the artist to express himself. We moved to France (my mother and I) and my first exhibitions as a painter took place in France, more precisely in Biarritz. Today I am creating oil paintings and making illustrations for my mother’s story books. I use quality raw material for my oil paintings: Old Holland and Schminke Mussini oil colors and premium canvas. I apply varnish to protect my works.
