Art in Sacred Space – Healing Paintings (2018 – 2023)
In recent years, however, my artworks have upgraded their elevating potential, exploring the energetic aspects of reality, the subtle energies of creation and the invisible realms.
Healing paintings are the result of a deep meditative process where I work with energy and intentions, and allow beautiful colours and abstract shapes to freely flow onto the canvas. The paint is poured directly onto the surface underneath, slowly allowing the subject to reveal itself.

I am I do
Mixed Media – Collage on Canvas, Acrylic Paint (2017) 40 x 40 cm
This work explored the concept of identity and the difference between an experience of being and doing. It offers a reflection about the impact that our words have on our experience of life.
As a society, we tend to label everything and everyone so that we feel in control. A common way to introduce ourselves is through our jobs. Often, we use our jobs to define who we are. Every word creates a pattern in the mind that sometimes turns into reality. The things that we do can then become our identity. Through my experience as an artist, I realised how limiting this inner identification can be. This work wished to create a moment of reflection within the audience, who is encouraged to seek an experience of the self from within.
Eyes Open
Mixed Media – Collage on Canvas, Acrylic Paint (2016) 135 x 100 cm
Eyes Open has been included in the exhibitions Crux and Across the Mediterranean, part of the Syn Festival 2016.
The work aimed to act as a memory of migration and exile. It wished to highlight the situation of thousands of people escaping the war in search of a better place to live. It referred, in particular, to those who found their new home in Italy and Greece.
After exploring independent documentaries showing the refugee’s conditions and emergencies, I felt the need to create this work. The canvas was entirely covered by a collage of photos about the situation, taken from newspapers and magazines. The paint poured over the collage wanted to evoke the colours of the sea, the sand, the boats, and the life jackets, simple things that can become symbols of tragedy.
Through this piece, I wished to invite the audience into a moment of silence and personal reflection. I believe that for all of us, it is important to remember that migration is always related to the need for change and that we are all connected by the same needs and energy.
Awakening – Nature
Mixed Media – Collage on Canvas, Acrylic Paint (2015) 60 x 75 cm
Both paintings have been included in Discover Urban Art , an exhibition about the challenges of a modern society that took place in Gayfield Gallery in 2015. These paintings represent a starting point within my exploration into the role of art and creativity for healing.
Awakening
The colour of the golden sun permeates the entire painting. Fluid veins of white energy are running through its surface. A collage of newspapers lies underneath, receiving the blessings of the colours and light arising. A symbol of the transformative potential of the art process at work, this piece aims to remind us about the sacredness of our soul and the golden energy of awakening flowing within.
Nature
Green lines of nature spirit are floating within this painting, grounding and yet uplifting in its essence. The colours invite us to reflect on the importance of the natural world for transformation and healing. The collage of newspapers underneath is a symbol of our society, while the action of pouring painting on them wishes to call forth our actions and responsibilities towards its change.
