This unity that has something from  the air of the East concentrates in a creative way my travels, my love and my artistic presence in China. 

I present  unique boxes in which my painting take a little transcendent dimensions.They are  art vintage objects that become a part of our everyday life and they can also take even a functional  application. 

My light boxes are unique pieces that can be combined and coexisted. They emerge from a process where the result consists of two surfaces. 

The first is the processed fabric or the printing, and the second is the painted rice paper. The light shows the painted slides. Each bright box arise dimensions, often unpredictable even for me. The ultimate result is mystery, charm, plaything. In fact, it is an invitation to a remote place that reminds East.
