David Bowie was never a single face or a single style. He was a constellation. This collection brings together a range of Bowie portraits as an homage to his perpetual transformation, his way of crossing genres, bodies, and eras.
Each piece is a different Ziggy, but all echo Ziggy. The cosmic androgyne, the decadent crooner, the haunted pierrot, the futuristic dandy, the mute of spectral Berlin. Fractured mirrors of an icon who turned artifice into truth, and pop into a path of self-exploration.
All Ziggies, Ziggy is a tribute to multiplicity, aura, and fragility. To a face that never wanted to be fixed — and for that reason, remains unforgettable.

This series explores the precise point where body and kitchen blur. There is no metaphor, no statement — only matter: tepid, soft, moist. Skin coexists with the texture of food as if they shared the same origin. A broken egg slides through the folds of fabric, without scandal, without explanation.
These bodies are not displayed, but offered. There is no gesture of seduction, only presence. The food is not for consumption, but residue, accident, trace. The scene proposes no narrative — just a dense instant, closed in on itself.
Tepid Matter plays with contrast: red against yellow, fabric against flesh, raw against cooked. Yet the tone is not violent, but intimate. Each image is a sealed chamber where something slowly softens.

These still-lifes draw inspiration from the quiet harmony of traditional Korean aesthetics. Objects are not arranged to impress but to breathe. A pear, a porcelain bowl, a folded cloth — each element holds its place with calm dignity, without excess or display.
There is restraint in the composition, but not coldness. The textures are soft, the colours muted, the light respectful. Emptiness plays an active role, allowing each object to speak.
Rather than abundance, these works evoke balance. They do not ask to be admired, only to be seen — fully, attentively, as if nothing were more urgent than a jar resting on a wooden table.

In this series, the hummingbird is not a blur of wings, but a still figure—perched, alert, waiting. These are not snapshots of flight, but moments of pause. A stillness charged with tension, as if the air were holding its breath.
Stripped of motion, the bird reveals something else: a quiet defiance, a concentrated elegance. The colours remain vivid, the body compact and precise, like a thought ready to take off.
These hummingbirds are not decorative. They are meditations on patience, control, and potential energy. In every posed bird, there’s the memory of flight—and the decision to wait.

In this pictorial series, monkeys cease to be animals and become metaphors. Each simian figure is caught in a human gesture, a parody or imitation that is both unsettling and amusing. This is not zoology, but a grotesque mirror in which the human being unwillingly recognizes themself.
The colours are deliberately expressionist, the forms slightly distorted, and the situations absurd, as if the monkeys had escaped from a theatre with no director. A kind of post-natural commedia dell’arte, where laughter catches in the throat and beauty dirties its hands.
The singeries, as 18th-century painters called them, return here to speak of our own time. In these works, there is no parody without affection, no irony without a wound. Each monkey is a poorly answered question.

Biography
My artistic background emerges from the intersection of language and image, shaped outside traditional academic paths in the arts. I have worked for over thirty years as a linguistic technician at a university and as a cultural journalist—two fields that have sharpened my gaze, deepened my relationship with language, and allowed me to approach creative processes from multiple perspectives.
Alongside this, I have maintained a steady practice as a poet, visual poet, and visual artist. Writing has always been my starting point, but over time, I have extended that search into visual forms that explore the materiality of the sign, the rhythm of composition, and the symbolic power of fragmentation. I have worked with collage, photography, mixed media, digital processes, and artificial intelligence, always seeking a tension between intuition and structure, between the conceptual and the sensory.
Though not formally trained in Fine Arts, my formation is grounded in decades of work with language, art, and thought. I understand creation as a space for inquiry and resistance, where experience, craft, and radical attention to the world converge. Each project is a form of listening and an attempt to turn lived experience into sensitive matter.
