"Moon Songs at the Opera" is a deeply personal exploration of life, loss, and the human condition. Born from the grief of losing two dear friends who cherished opera, this collection of paintings emerged from countless nights spent gazing at the moon in all its phases, contemplating life's profound questions.

"Moon Songs at the Opera" is a visual narrative that probes into the complexities of human existence. Revisiting a lifetime of dreams, sketches, and fragmented memories, the images in this exhibition arise from the subconscious, uncovering the joys, sorrows, and anxieties that shape our waking lives. Dreams, in their surreal beauty and unsettling darkness, offer a window into the burdens we carry and the curiosities that drive us.
