Destiny has made him meet his love, the man he still shares his life with. Torn between the desire of studying at a distance and his newly found love he chose to quit studying. He turned then to become a hairstylist, a more rational, but also creative work. This has enabled him to meet with thousands of people, and use his fascination with beauty, to transform ordinary into extraordinary.

After a pause of almost 20 years, he went back to his first passion and begun to paint again for pleasure, it was a revelation. His goal is to transmit an emotion of beauty, of sensuality.
