"Emotions and senses generate the shape of a map,
but it's more than a map."

Following a drifting process (dérive),
I sense emotions or memories perceived in natural or urban landscapes
to emphasize interpersonal connections in abstract maps.

My work combines overlapping geometric forms to create environments in flux, suggesting mental spaces encoded with spiritual and autobiographical elements.

Using a drifting process inspired by psychogeography, I explore the invisible interactions between psychology and environments, evolving from figurative to abstract art over three decades.

My map art and installations challenge traditional concepts of space, fostering meaningful connections between people and their surroundings.

My experimental "geographic abstraction" art maps thinking, blending personal narratives
with collective psychology.

I reveal hidden aspects of urban life by integrating cartographic elements with memories, emotions,
and cultural references.

This visual language invites viewers to engage
in the emotional experience of our thinking processes.
