About

While travelling Greece, I filled a small Moleskin skechtbook with life-drawings. It has been the most inspiring resource for my work so far. Though the process of painting was not romantic at all, as one might imagine. I remember being wrapped in a heavy black sweater for sun protection while melting away on the stairs of the Acropolis, almost trampled to death by thousands of Flip Flops.
