In painting, I may have an initial idea. But instead of representing it directly on canvas, I typically switch into gestural mode. The results are images that were born within the context of the idea, but they are abstract and usually non-figurative. I hope my creations will strike you as not only decorative but will touch your spirit in a way that's hard to explain.
 
My latest series "roccia" (rock) originates in the high mountains. These images are non-figurative. But the surrounding glaciers, rocks, wildwaters and alpine spring flora serve as a backdrop. Here is the direct link to the series, click:
