In this piece, I searched to create an unusual poetic image. The work shows an unknown woman, in a “waxy” posture, in a garden of a psychiatric asylum. This piece was based on several screenshots from a public medical video documentary from the early 1900s. — *In the Asylum 4*

I’ve mentioned in some descriptions of my work my artistic interests in abnormality. So, sickness and its impact on human experience is one of my interests. I made this work with deep respect and admiration towards this woman and artist who chose, as her artistic topic, among others, to auto-photograph herself in an ancestral, abandoned leprosarium in Chios, Greece. This is while suffering from anorexia. In 2022, the Museum im Lagerhaus, Switzerland, opened the exhibition entitled Human to commemorate this artist and her work. — *In The Leprosarium 9.

This portrait is an homage to the women that lost their lives in the hands of Jack the Ripper a couple of centuries ago. Their names, as we may know, are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. Since I began the work, I wanted to portray the troubled life and tragic deaths of these unknown (at the time) women. I created this artwork with deep respect towards them. — *A Whitechapel’s Woman*

This is a tribute to Mary Jane Kelly, the last woman of the five canonical victims. As an artist, what amazed me, among so many other things, is the tireless fury of her perpetrator: Jack The Ripper. — *When Jack Had Time. Tribute To Mary Jane Kelly*

In a true crime documentary, this woman is recreating with a forensic artist a composite sketch based on her perception as a witness of a violent crime. Her demeanor and troubled face inspired me to make up this artwork. I tried to recreate the atmosphere (mood, gesture, emotional state) in where she's immersed. — *The Informant 4*

I conceived this work while reading “Profilers: Leading Investigators Take you Inside the Criminal Mind” by Campbell, John H. (John Henry); DeNevi, Don (2004).

I find a deep sense of beauty in the deformed body of women by age and decrepitude. It’s an analogue feeling I experience when I study John Coplans’ (1920-2003, United Kingdom) body of art, where he explored and photographed his own body almost at the end of his life. — *Woman 52*

Welcome to this collection.

What interests me as a creator is abnormality and its impact on human life. I make my work with deep respect towards the women on which I make my studies.

In this collection, I interpret and portray historical females; some renowned characters, others anonymous, but all of their biographies called my attention as an artist and as a woman. I treat most of these creations with drama. This means that, in every work, I try to grasp the character's frantic condition and beauty.

Art Techniques

The techniques I use are traditional (oil and acrylic, crayon, pencil, clay sculpting, etc.) and digital painting (digital tablet, Photoshop, 3D sculpture, etc.).
