An evolving collection of my artwork, such as: paintings, illustrations, and visual stories born from curiosity, intuition, and the quiet conversations between imagination and experience.
Collection : 禄 (Lù) a meditation on prosperity
禄 (Lù) a meditation on prosperity.
Inspired by the Pentacles suit in Tarot, this collection explores abundance beyond possessions. It looks instead toward the wealth found in patience, craftsmanship, balance, nature, and the rituals that shape a meaningful life.
Drawn by hand in Procreate, these illustrations were deeply influenced by the visual poetry of East Asian art and the sense of contemplation it inspires in me. They are not an attempt to reproduce a tradition, but a personal conversation with the feelings it evokes: simplicity, harmony, symbolism, and reverence for the ordinary.
To me, fortune is also about what we nurture.
A Dream of Feather and Heart
What began as a series of sketch studies gradually unfolded into a visual poem.
Guided more by intuition than by planning, each drawing led naturally to the next until they formed a small symbolic narrative, part dream, part myth.
The story draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian mythology, particularly the symbolism of Anubis and Ma'at, whose image of the heart weighed against a feather has long fascinated me. Yet it also wanders beyond those origins, weaving together other symbols that have accompanied me throughout my artistic practice: birds as messengers, stars as witnesses, mysterious landscapes, and the fertile darkness from which all life emerges.
At its heart, this piece reflects on transformation and the unseen. Much of what gives shape to our lives begins in places we cannot perceive, just as seeds grow beneath the soil, dreams form before they can be even named, and the human spirit is continually shaped by what exists beyond the visible.
Rather than offering answers, this story might leave you with a question suspended: What allows us to cross into another way of being?
"Serenity" A mixed-media project
This painting started as a loose sketch in my sketchbook, as shown in the photos. I knew that I wanted to paint a portrait that could communicate harmony and elevation.
If you wish to know more about the story and inspiration behind this painting, I invite you to read it here.
I will shortly guide you through the technical process of this artwork.
Basically, almost everything was made using acrylics on watercolor paper.
When I needed to choose a color to paint her clothes, I had the idea of taking a photo of it and working through different options digitally in Procreate (a software designed for digital artists).
This way, I decided to paint it using this off-white color and add light blue shadows to the flowers.
The first picture is the final result, using Procreate to add details and further enhance what I had created with acrylics so far.
The choice of colors was based on my intention to create a warm, yet calm and inviting atmosphere. The Yin-Yang symbol was chosen without thinking too much about it, I could simply visualize it there and decided to go along with it.
She wears a golden hat, adorned with a precious stone (emerald), spirals, and a wing-like sculpting detail. These symbols came
intuitively rather than being carefully thought through. Emerald is a precious stone that carries healing and loving energies. It is linked to several ancient goddesses, such as Ishtar, Isis, Venus, and others.
The spirals represent life happening in its multiple layers, they are linked to memory, and I consider them to be a fascinating symbol. The wings are, to me, a representation of freedom, messages, and elevation.
Her golden hat is made of gold, a precious metal that doesn't rust or corrode. It carries a signature of being virtually incorruptible.
Portraits & Impressions
These portraits began as a way of studying faces, their expressions, shapes, colors, and the little details that make a person feel unmistakably themselves.
Some were inspired by photographs, others appeared first in my imagination. I wasn't always trying to recreate a particular person, but rather to follow the feeling a face could evoke and see where it would take me.
All created digitally in Procreate.
