CARPE VINUM


A collection of oil pastel works inspired by the universe of wine and the rich Mediterranean culture around food, aperitivo time, and sobremesa – the enjoyment of rest and conversation after the end of a beautiful meal with a group of friends or family.


I love how each bottle of wine is a unique work of art, and the sensual way it accents and contrasts with different foods. Travelling around the Mediterranean, wine–tasting is a beautiful way to get to know each place’s individual terroir. In the same way, I love the nuances of olive oil culture.
