statement:
My work delves into the strange beauty and mysterious complexity of the world around us— and within us. Through intuitive form, texture, and color, I aim to capture the organic, vibrant energy that pulses beneath the surface of everyday life. This exploration is a playful, curious process that tests the limits of consciousness and material, revealing connections that are often invisible but deeply felt.
Spontaneity, imperfection, and experimentation are not just aspects of my practice, they are essential to it. I allow these elements to guide the creative journey, opening the work to unexpected and dynamic directions. The interplay between shape and color creates a visual rhythm that echoes fleeting moments of energy, emotion, and connection. My process mirrors the flow of life itself: ever-changing, imperfect, and filled with challenges to be navigated, overcome, and adapted to.
