About me

I'm a collage artist and calligrapher creating distinctive visual narratives through photography, collage and expressive handwritten elements.

My work combines portraiture, found imagery, textures, symbolic elements and calligraphy to create surreal, emotionally driven compositions. I'm particularly interested in the space where image and handwriting meet - using calligraphy not simply as readable text, but as gesture, movement and part of the composition itself.

With a background in both traditional and modern calligraphy and many years of multidisciplinary design experience, I combine analogue craftsmanship with digital techniques depending on the project. My work moves between hand-painted marks, physical collage, photography and digital composition.

I create collage artwork, editorial visuals, posters, book and album covers, campaign imagery and custom artwork, as well as handwritten identities and signature-style logos for clients looking for a distinctive, human visual language.

I'm especially drawn to projects in fashion, music, culture, publishing and independent brands, where experimentation and strong visual storytelling are valued.
