Artist Statement
My work is rooted in an intimate relationship with the self—the quiet dialogue between thought, emotion, and the act of creation. I enter each painting without a predetermined destination, allowing the medium and the unfolding process to guide me. Working intuitively and non-objectively, I surrender to the movement of color, texture, and emotion, searching for something that feels both rooted and mysterious—like a fleeting memory of another time and place.
I primarily work in oils, embracing their slow drying time as an invitation to linger, blend, and discover. Rather than relying solely on brushes, I often use palette knives to spread, layer, and scrape mounds of paint across the canvas, allowing the surface to evolve organically. Colors merge directly on the canvas, creating depth and movement as the painting reveals itself. Though each work begins with a general concept—self-motivation, determination, triumph, dreams, or imagination—the journey remains intuitive. Through color and texture, these ideas become imagined passages where emotion takes form and the viewer is invited to wander, reflect, and perhaps lose themselves within the painting.
