Artist statement

The theme of transformation in time—emotional, psychological, and existential—lies at the heart of my work. I explore how memory, love, conflict, fragmentation, and reintegration shape and shift my sense of time and identity in everyday life.

The 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 moves from vague intention to something meaningful through editing and experience. My practice is informed by psychological and contemporary philosophical thought, research, and classical and contemporary art that engages with questions of identity. I am especially interested in questions around the ways gender, masculinity and queerness are reflected in the language of colour, motifs, and formal structure.
For many years, I have been drawn to symbolic traditions such as Renaissance alchemical imagery, where such questions are dealt with while evoking 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 who value emotional depth, self-exploration, and transformative experiences through visual means. Although certainly energetic, my paintings emerge from slow processes and are intended as companions in contemplation.
