​

Artistic Pause and Renewal (2015–2025):

Following a workplace accident in 2011, I was forced to suspend my artistic projects. This interruption led to a period of physical rehabilitation, notably through boxing, as well as profound personal reflection.

                                                                                                                        

This period allowed me to rebuild myself, refine my vision, and develop a new sense of maturity. Today, I am fully resuming my artistic practice with renewed energy and an even deeper commitment.

​

​

This pause became a metamorphosis.
The body healed,

and art reinvented itself.
