Works

Their painting travels across genres, but in the end, from the portraits of seducing top models to the ill-defined landscapes, the subject remains the same: the image and its medium. The painting of the duo born in 1999 perfectly translates the wrenches, dark sides, mood swings, and successive divorces of this turbulent couple.
