Liquid: A Reflection on Human Diversity
Liquid is a celebration of human diversity and collective coexistence, free from distinctions based on skin color, age, origin, gender, or any form of discrimination rooted in geographical, economic, religious, and/or cultural roots present in our societies.
Water is the unifying element in this series of five pieces, representing the natural elements that humanity needs to survive, emphasizing that any distinctions we make between ourselves, consciously or unconsciously, are reduced to the ephemeral when we develop the ability to recognize that there are no significant differences that separate us, as we all rely on the same vital elements.
This series aims to connect the emotions of the viewer with human diversity. It is, in a way, a medium for reflection that urges the observer to seek balance between their existence and that of those around them. It calls for the appreciation of beauty and validation of each individual for who they are, leaving behind preconceived ideas and particular experiences.
In summary, Liquid is a proposal that draws attention to ideologies that unfortunately are part of humanity, such as racism, ageism, the understimation of children and the intolerance towards androgynism or non-binarism.

Bee Yourself Collection
Bee Yourself: A Celebration of Authenticity
Bee Yourself is a meticulously crafted collection that finds its foundation in the principles of expressionism. The essence of this series is drawn from the pursuit and celebration of authenticity. Through a nuanced examination of emotions, this collection offers a close and intimate look at the human experience, depicted through the interaction of human faces with a fluid, organic element—honey.
Each piece in this collection is a tribute to the beauty of being true to oneself. The use of honey as a motif symbolizes both the sweetness and complexity of our emotions, reflecting the depth and richness of our inner lives. By intertwining human expressions with this liquid element, the artwork encapsulates the fluidity and vulnerability inherent in genuine self-expression.
This three-piece collection aims to convey that authenticity is not only a personal virtue but also a powerful force that fosters genuine human connections. By staying true to who we are, we open ourselves up to deeper, more profound interactions with those around us.
