Artist statement

The theme of transformation—emotional, psychological, and existential—lies at the heart of my work. I explore how change takes shape within me and many others: how grief and memory, conflict and renewal, fragmentation and reintegration shape our sense of time and identity in everyday life.

My paintings move between abstraction and figuration, not as opposites but as parallel ways of sensing and understanding the world. They create spaces where the fleeting, the contradictory, and the difficult to articulate can coexist. Like a poem, each work holds multiple temporalities—moments of rupture, reflection, and becoming. 

I work spontaneously, trusting a process that leads from vague intention to something meaningful through editing and experience. My practice is informed by psychological and contemporary philosophical thought as well as by classical and contemporary art that engages with questions of identity. I am also drawn to symbolic traditions such as Renaissance alchemical imagery, which evoke journeys of consciousness and inner transformation as ways of navigating the complexity and diversity of being alive. 

I aim to create art that resonates with people in periods of transition—collectors who value emotional depth, self-exploration, and transformative experiences through visual means. These paintings are intended as companions in contemplation, catalysts for insight, and invitations to witness subtle internal transformations.
