“Swimsuits” Series
“The Swimsuits series: A pictorial reflection on women’s rights” was selected to be on display at the European delegation to the United Nations, during the 67th commission on the status of women with a focus on “Innovation and Technological Change, and Education in the Digital Age to Achieve Gender Equality and Empower all Women and Girls”.

It was on display at the Jay Heritage Center in Rye, NY for two months (Oct-Nov.2023). The opening reception was part of the NY State’s Path Through History Weekend on October 7-8, 2023.
In March 2025, the same series will be on display at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City for the 69th commission on the status of women.
“Alice”
Series
In 2015 I started a new body of work called “Alice", in which I overlap the story of Alice in Wonderland with the History of San Francisco, Paris, Amsterdam and New York to represent the schizophrenic state of these ever changing cities. Each painting of this series tells a piece of the story about our everyday lives. In a sense Alice is you, me, anyone who lives or works in large metropolis and has to adapt or face its challenges.
“Home”
Series
“I started this series called “Home” in March 2020. Like a diary, it’s the recording of a time between hope and despair. While working on it, I realized that the social and economic crisis that followed the health crisis were also about the notion of home, but in this case, the risk of losing it. Our only shelter during the pandemic is taken away from people who need it most. This concept of "Home" is also related to the planet and the current climate change. How are we going to shape the world after this pandemic? More than any house, the planet is our home and we're slowly losing it…”
“Underwater”
Series
“Underwater” is a series of digital works created with Procreate on my iPad and printed on an aluminum panel. The metal shows through the image, giving a unique translucent luminescence to the surface and inviting the spectators to place themselves in the image, the metal surface acting as a mirror. In this series I combine old daily life photographs with images found in the news and photos taken during trips with my son to different aquariums like the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, Artis Aquarium in Amsterdam or Nausicaà in France.
