ARCHIVE

Here you will find all the work series I have previously completed.

I love working in series. There’s always a surge of enthusiasm when I step into the “plan”—the commitment to a new idea. It’s incredibly motivating to immerse myself in a growing body of work, where each piece evolves independently yet remains connected to one main story.

30 DAYS of FARO | daily plein air painting

“30 DAYS of FARO” grew out of my intention to practice en plein air plainting regularly. I walked through the streets of Faro, observing its structure, architectural compositions and ever-changing light. Creating at least a quick value and color study was my objective. January 2025
