Folk stories and mythology from all over the world inspires me. I love when metaphysical aspects are incorporated into the everyday lives of people in these stories. The extraordinary turns their lives can take make me want to create similar work, making my own curious scenes. Wether I am working on something taken directly from stories of the past or creating my own fictions, I try to keep the magical quality alive.
