Biography

Assumpta began his career with great skill to develop their skills in the various techniques enamel on fire. Inconformista nomadic and by vocation, is investigating other arts and serves as multilingual resources, which harmonizes with maturity and forcefulness, creating unique pieces, unique and unrepeatable.

The constant search, in the process of genesis of their works, the leads accidentally oil and watercolor. Brief notes that the creative help in its task, making will accommodate between fabrics and colors. Begin, then, a polyhedral and metamorphic stage of gestation consciously relaxed, which definitely lead in paint.

Tireless traveler, his retina stored and processed huge volumes of images and feelings that arise naturally and materialize with an exquisite sensitivity. All of his work is based on the job, the obsession with advancing and solid expertise that encourage continued experimentation on the structure that builds a conceptual universe itself.

Let’s enjoy the latest delivery, which opens the doors to his inner world, intimate and eclectic, full of nuances and consistency, which distills and transformed into images, which surely will not cause indifference.
