My inspiration comes from the dimly lit cafés of the old Bohemians, where poets, wanderers and dreamers gathered. I create what transcends time. Each figure exists in a world without borders, dressed in timeworn garb, lost in thought and steeped in history. The stories of travelers seeking the unknown, I am not just capturing faces, but the weight of lives lived, imagined, creating a tapestry of human experience portrayed in my work.

These cafes were places where friendships were forged, manifestos written, and revolutions of thought ignited. It was where the eccentric and the visionary found their home. Sketchbooks and notebooks were always at hand, they existed in a world of their own creation.

Having spent time in the company of such minds, I absorbed that atmosphere, mood, rhythm, and the way the world slowed down inside those walls. That sensibility, and the essence of café society, finds echoes in my work. The feeling of being both observer and participant of cafe life, unfolded in quiet, meaningful moments, and lingered like the last sip of coffee in a porcelain cup.
