Stop motion, collage, cut paper, mixed media. As AI imagery gets smoother and more frictionless, the work cutting through is the kind where you can see the hours. Brands are commissioning stop-motion and mixed media artists for campaigns, and the same work is finding its way onto feeds, because viewers register the effort before they register anything else. Visible process has become the point.

I’d say mundane because it’s about finding beauty in the ordinary and everyday, those simple, seemingly insignificant moments that we often overlook. I like the idea of taking something mundane and turning it into something beautiful and worth noticing.

Not one but a mix of two, carmine and umber, it's a colour combination that I use over and over again without even realising it sometimes.

Actually, it’s one I’ve never shown publicly, it’s a painting I created based on the image I had in my head of my maternal grandmother’s house. Since there aren’t many photos of it, I drew from my childhood memories of what the house was like and how it felt to me.

I’d say I paint at any time of day, day or night, whether there’s a lot going on around me or nothing at all. Sometimes I like to paint in silence, other times I actually enjoy the noise around me when my mind is quiet. What matters most is that, wherever I am and whoever I’m around, it feels like home.

The seaside town where I’m from and the sense of calm it brings me. At the time, I was living in the city and came home for the summer, which made me appreciate probably more than ever the place where I grew up and the way it makes me feel. I did put that feeling onto the canvas.

A lot of them actually end up on the canvas, haha. But the one that happens most often is probably my favourite ritual and my favourite part of the day, starting the day slowly, with a cup of coffee and whatever book I’m reading at the moment.

I don’t think I could have answered anything other than an original. I think there are few things more unique than a painting, because there’s really nothing quite like it. Even if you tried, a one-of-a-kind piece of art, created by someone on a particular day, in a particular place, at a particular moment in time, can never truly be replicated.

Feel it. If you feel it, it’s meant to be. I like to say that art isn’t meant to be explained, but rather felt.

I really love frames, in different colours, textures, materials, and styles, from vintage and antique to more modern designs and I think they can be so important in complementing and finishing a piece of art. But I’m always drawn to one that I feel works beautifully with any painting, in any room, and in any home, my go-to is a raw wood floating frame. It’s simple, elegant, and, in my opinion, lets the painting stand out.

All over the house, actually. I think small paintings can fill any little nook, from a forgotten wall to an empty shelf that could use something, while larger ones, as accent pieces, can really bring a space to life.
