ARTIST
STATEMENT
I am an expressive painter drawn to the alchemy of materials, to the quiet revelations of process, and to the unexpected gestures that emerge when chance takes hold. My work is an intuitive exploration of the self—its longing for peace, freedom, and growth—and of the deep, perplexing questions we inherit along the way.
Atmosphere and landscape become my language, serving as metaphors through which inner and outer worlds meet. Through sustained engagement with surfaces, scale, and form, I surrender to the play of material and natural forces—gravity, water, texture, and color —allowing them to guide the work. In this dialogue, uncertainty becomes a doorway, and discovery unfolds in delicate, surprising ways.
It is my hope that my work resonates with the shared currents of human experience, offering viewers a place to see, feel, and think, and to connect with the subtle, intricate patterns through which we come to know ourselves and the world around us.
