The journey through my portraits, provide an energetic combination of drawing, painting and collage, enhancing a quality to my subjects. What is created is a prototype collage of layered paper and matte board, with graphite, charcoal or paint, I guide the viewer on a line blurred between mediums that allows you to indulge in a mixture of the elegance of realism combined with the wonder and innocence of nature.
