People have always intrigued me in all their diversity, strength and vulnerability. My travels to countries such as Africa, Bali, Australia, Dubai and Nepal, among others, have also left a lasting impression. Every face I create carries something from that journey: a memory, an emotion, a story. Encounters with other cultures and customs have broadened my outlook and enriched my heart. Those experiences are the source of inspiration for this portrait, and for all the others.

The basis of this work was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), which acted as a digital sketch assistant. The painting was brought to life with thick layers of acrylic paint, so that the portrait really seems to jump off the canvas.
