Artist Statement
My artistic journey is a continuous exploration of the interplay between figural forms and abstract fields of vivid color. I aim to create complex and layered paintings that invite viewers to engage in a visual dance between the recognizable and the enigmatic.In my artistic process, I meticulously compose my works, yet the end result carries a sense of improvisation and spontaneity. It is within this delicate balance that my true artistic expression thrives. Gestural marks and brushwork intertwine with vivid swaths of paint, creating a dynamic visual experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional painting. CV
