"Fired enamel and jewelry are the artistic languages of my work itself, which takes place on the border between the funny and the violent, the strange and the childish, death and laughter, between candies and guts, vindicating the human being showing his weaknesses and virtues."
“Queerphoria is a feeling of total freedom, of being able to play a role in this world and in this society without thinking about labels or pronouns.

“What was and what is my search for identity is a reflection of what my work is, a constant search, in this case technical and aesthetic, to be able to express what I am and what I feel, trying to perfect the way of doing it and to say it always showing the results without fear and with joy, trying to fill any subject or situation with color, no matter how delicate or sad it may be.”
