Painting - dancing has been one of my most challenging projects. It all started when I met contemporary dancer and choreographer Liz Gerring in New York who gave me the great opportunity to follow her dance company rehearsals, since 2006. A year later, I did a few works on paper and canvas after watching the movements and poses of the dancers. Since 2009, I have started a collaboration with Liz Gerring Dance Company when I designed the set for Montauk, a new choreography premiered at the Baryshnikov Art Center in New York, on February 5th 2009.
