The subject matters of matters of my works range from the most ordinary, Spartan spaces to scenic vistas and even ruined places. I like embellishing ruins and destroying ornaments. I try to reflect this recurring human behavior in pictures and plasterboard’s: a behavior that is self- destructive. Ornamentation is sometimes used to justify behaviors and destruction is sometimes used as a pretext to construct.
