ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores themes of spiritual transformation and sacred knowledge through Neo-Renaissance Mysticism Art. Inspired by alchemy, theology, Freemasonry and Rosicrucian traditions, I reimagine the techniques of the Old Masters through my digital paintings to create allegorical works that invite viewers into a sacred and contemplative space.
I am dedicated to reviving the Renaissance aesthetic through digital and traditional tools, merging the timeless beauty of historical art with the possibilities of modern technology. My work is influenced by the grandeur of the Italian and Nordic Renaissance, intertwined with the ethereal beauty of Pre-Raphaelite art.
My passion for digital painting began when I started working as a book illustrator at the age of 15. Since then, I continue to contribute to literary works as well.
I seek meaning by examining my relationship with God and the world, while pondering, for example, the existence of evil. An idea that I am very interested in as an artist is Christian universalism, i.e. the right to forgiveness assigned to all beings, including the damned and the Devil (Apokatastasis).
I am also passionate about working in the digital art space (Web3) because it offers opportunities for innovation, aligns with my values of decentralization and empowerment, and is anchored by a vibrant community that fosters continuous learning and growth. I envision this path as a lifelong journey.
