"My oil paintings are inspired by ordinary objects and flowers conceived by developing ideas and compositions following a classical tradition using careful observation of light. My paintings have a narrative quality and are meant to arouse the viewer's imagination and stimulate an appreciation of the fleeting beauty of these arrangements."
