    Full Description

    Drawing, the cornerstone of the book Notes of Happiness, is described as an authentic and profound reality, an absolute space where one can explore their essence. It is not merely a graphic representation but an existential experience that allows every life event to be transformed into a spontaneous and sincere gesture. Through the coordination of body and mind, drawing becomes a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the imagined, offering a personal navigation through different dimensions. 

    The Iscapes collection emerges from artistic and stylistic innovation, breaking the boundaries of classical drawing. Here, the stroke becomes a universal language capable of evoking deep emotions, from the ancestral charm of a mark in nature to the comfort of a place designed to be inhabited. This gesture, as simple as it is powerful, transforms abstract space into a lived place where individuals can find balance, introspection, and truth.
