Rangún

This series of paintings emerges from a deep bond with Myanmar, a country where I lived for two years in Yangon, the former capital. I spent most of my time in this vibrant city, wandering through its noisy bustle, its streets teeming with life, among markets, temples and avenues where the sacred and the everyday merge at every turn. Although I also traveled through other regions of the country, it was Yangon—with its tireless pace and overflowing energy—that left an indelible mark on me.

The works gathered here capture fragments of that experience. Some present chaotic compositions, where forms snake and intertwine, reflecting the vibrant confusion I breathed in every corner. Others are more contained scenes: small motifs that seduced me, solitary figures immersed in their own world, moments suspended amid constant motion.

Myanmar is a place where religion and daily life are inseparable. Its people—exceptionally warm and kind—their intense, flavorful cuisine, the strolls among millennia-old pagodas… everything in Myanmar invites a profound immersion, where time seems at once to speed up and stand still. These paintings do not aim to describe a place, but to invite the viewer to feel it: its vibrant chaos, its ancient serenity, its luminous humanity.
