I conjure a universe: COSMOPOLIHARMONIA—woven from the words cosmos, polis, and harmony. These elements represent the essence of my ideal state of being: cosmos, the vast interconnectedness of all things; harmony, the balance we seek within ourselves and with others; and polis, the community where we each have our place and purpose. Together, they form a vision of a new societal order, one born of unity and grounded in respect for our differences.

This world arises in our times of “transformation”—a term now hollowed out from overuse. It is also the foundation of new money; capitalism requires “water on the mills” to thrive. Change awakens a primal fear deep within. The once hard-won inner freedom begins to tremble, burdened by the weight of the new, the unknown. It’s unsettling. What lies beyond? Where is my way back to security?
Bing-Bang: Comfort kills your calling! The warmth of comfort lulls us into a state of complacency, dulling our senses to the vibrant possibilities that lie beyond our current circumstances. We begin to settle for less, afraid to disrupt the status quo or step into the unknown. Do you want this (for your children)?
Yet after every fall comes the flight—or at least a step forward, as we rise and move onward, carrying ourselves into whatever comes next. What IS next?
COSMOPOLIHARMONIA—my creation of a place where we live in balance and stay in motion physically and mentally, where we are drawn into a world where change calls us daily to become more fully ourselves, even against our will.
My art series, like the cosmos I dream of, celebrates a universe where every being finds its rhythm, its essence, its moment. Dive deep, full speed ahead.
COSMOPOLIHARMONIA—the essence of our journey.

GET RID OF YOUR BODY
GET RID OF YOUR BODY——shed the familiar weight and everything it contains, slipping free from the edges of the physical. In letting go, what lingers? A core, unbound, hovering between essence and presence.

Our bodies anchor us, marking boundaries, binding us to place, to identity, to the rhythm of time. But beyond this shell pulses a subtler rhythm, an ebb and flow that calls us to something deeper. To lose the body means not to abandon it; rather, it’s to move beyond its boundaries, to sense where we end and everything else begins. It’s stepping into a space where limits dissolve, and existence becomes something vaster, fluid, uncontained. In shedding the body, we expose the soul—unfathomable, searching—a spark, a release. Here is where COSMOPOLIHARMONIA begins: a realm of boundless connection, beyond form. A world without walls, a unity that transcends physical boundaries, asking us to live life as a shared, limitless experience.
COSMOPOLIHARMONIA: a place where every soul finds belonging, as the body finds release.

BITES & TARTES
BITES & TARTES are the echoes of emotions left behind by strangers with whom I shared fleeting, yet deeply profound moments. I know neither their names nor where they dwell, but in those ephemeral conversations, they unveiled fragments of their souls to me. What lingered—their footprint, the raw essence of their being in that instant—I yearned to capture.

The idea of drawing on dessert plates came to me one overcast autumn afternoon, after savoring what might have been the finest chocolate cake of my life at a street food café in New York. Beside me sat an elderly woman who, after a while, began to unfold pieces of her life—a tapestry of reflections and regrets, laid bare as she looked back on the years. In that moment, I felt an irresistible pull to capture her essence, sketching her with a simple ballpoint pen onto the delicate paper plate beneath my dessert.
That impulse became a journey, evolving from that single, fleeting sketch into a practice, and from there, into an art. Over time, I have captured over 500 faces—each one belonging to someone I encountered, mostly during my travels through more than a hundred countries. Each face is a story, a fragment of a life I’ll never fully know yet feel honored to hold, however briefly, in color on a dessert plate: BITES & TARTES.
Each face is part of my imagined universe, COSMOPOLIHARMONIA—a word merging cosmos, polis, and harmony. In this world, every face reveals itself just as it is: true, with its beauty, its shadows, its wounds, and its love. Truthfulness.
A few pieces from my BITES & TARTES collection are now available for sale. I’ve chosen five faces that I feel particularly drawn to—ones I return to and draw time and again. Each drawing is unique. Stop by. For more details, send me a message!

BITTERSWEETNESS
BITTERSWEETNESSthere is that delicate dance between love and pain in life, two polarities, each defined and existent only through the presence of the other.
more
Its fragile balance is the narrow path. Perhaps it’s so much simpler to let go, not to take it all too seriously. What if I am nothing more than a fleeting speck in the universe? Yet still, I crave immortality, and when that eludes me, I settle for recognition: Here I am. I exist. Notice me.
The foundation of COSMOPOLIHARMONIA, my ideal state of being, is balance—this sweet, harmonious coexistence of differences. Peace: live and let live. This painted series embodies both tension and relaxation, holding on and letting go, anger and love, much like the interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems within us. The day begins in the night, and the night begins in the day. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow again. Contradictions, duality—human nature’s law. Another one. Bam—back to balance, just to fall out of it in order to find it again.

THE DOG MARKET
DOG MARKET—beyond the physical, I strive to trace the spirit of our truest companions into form. Each brushstroke, each color, breathes life into an unspoken bond, a love that neither starts nor stops.
Dogs dissolve the line between self and other, drawing us into a presence that words can’t reach—loyal, boundless, always there.
In this way, DOG MARKET becomes a gateway to COSMOPOLIHARMONIA—a world of harmony beyond borders, where every being has its place and presence, revealing the interconnectedness of all life, to live and let live.

DON'T SPEAK
DON’T SPEAK—welcome to my world that speak not through words but through presence and expression. ANIMALIA holds its own vibrant tale, their eyes meeting ours without pretense, their forms alive in hues that resonate with an unspoken language. Listen with more than ears, understand through stillness. Unlike DOG MARKET, where loyalty and devotion is key, DON’T SPEAK reflects the wonder of simply being. COSMOPOLIHARMONIA opens its arms to ANIMALIA, who reminds us that true connection requires no words. .
